MediaWiki is federated already, due to the interwiki links mechanism. Any large public wiki can have an editable list of shortcuts to other such wikis, and then a link such as [[otherwiki:Some Article]] will work just as well as a local one to [[Some Article]]. This is the exact same federation model as, e.g. email.

That's just a shortcut mechanism though, nothing more.
