If that's the case, then the current mediawiki package should obsolete (and therefore uninstall) mediawiki-ParserFunctions, right? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): mediawiki-1.19.6-1.fc18.noarch
I can confirm that mediawiki-1.19.6-1.fc18.noarch installs all of the files from the ParserFunctions extension, so long as you uninstall mediawiki-ParserFunctions first.
The 1.19.4 version also contains the same files. You must have forced the package installation of either the extension or mediawiki in the past. I will inform the extension package owner and add an Obsoletes/Provides.
It's possible that I forced installation of one or the other at some point in the past to work around the problem, but I don't remember at this point.

> Obsoletes > mediawiki-Cite < 0-0.10.20080901svn.1 > mediawiki-ParserFunctions < 1.1.1-10.svn45003.1 > mediawiki-imagemap < 0-0.7.r37906.1 As a hint for next time, there's an even easier (and safer!) way to choose the $obsEVR value. Simple give it the value the next (fictitious) build would have been given. That is, bump the Release tag as normal in its most-significant field, which also gives opportunity to drop the irrelevant snapshot/scm tag: mediawiki-Cite < 0-0.11 mediawiki-ParserFunctions < 1.1.1-11 mediawiki-imagemap < 0-0.8

Michael, I'm not the owner of the -Cite package if you bothered to look at the ACLs. I've informed the owner but he is unresponsive to retiring his package. Feel free to open a bug against -Cite or bring up a NRM. I'm not sure why you keep installing -Cite either. Remove it from your system.
bug 980998 should not have been closed as a duplicate then, if steps are missing.
