MediaWiki

Tagline (Site Subtitle) in MediaWiki is a bit similar as Drupal's site slogan, so how to configure it? Change the name of the wiki give a good example:

Tagline

The tagline can be edited either in the language files, or through the MediaWiki namespace. Using the latter method, the edit MediaWiki:Tagline and amend the existing text as required.

Note: Editing the MediaWiki namespace will only have an effect if $wgUseDatabaseMessages is set to true. This is the default.

So what's the meaning? Just edit the content of page MediaWiki:Tagline (e.g. http://example.com/wiki/MediaWiki:Tagline) and it will take effect to your tagline :-)
