The largest single user of MediaWiki other than Wikimedia is wikia.com, most
likely.  Some other large wikis are listed here:

The problem is more lots of little sites than a few big ones, I'd think. 
MediaWiki is probably the most popular wiki software out there even if you
don't count Wikipedia.  For instance, my mother is an art historian and has
sometimes used a wiki meant to track university job openings in 19th century
art history, which runs MediaWiki.  She was using Chrome for a while and would
undoubtedly summon me and ask for an explanation if it randomly broke.  There
are zillions of little sites like that.

I don't what your/WebKit's attitude is on maintaining compatibility vs.
cleaning out cruft, so I can't say what you should do.  Not having a fix in
place for, say, the next couple of years would certainly break a lot of sites,
that's all I can say.  We don't have a very good upgrade rate; there are still
a remarkable number of sites running three-year-old copies of MediaWiki.
