To make it clear: Stefan wanted to say that there is no point to quote
lambda; see <https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/QuotedLambda> for details.

I would also advise to avoid putting lambdas in hooks.  The reason is:
what if you would want to remove it from hook?  If you added a function
name to a hook, it would be much easier to remove it.  For example:

(defun some-stuff-for-mediawiki ()
  (toggle-truncate-lines 0)
  (abbrev-mode 1)
  (set-fill-column 65000)
  (auto-fill-mode 0))

(add-hook 'mediawiki-mode-hook 'some-stuff-for-mediawiki)

Now if you want to remove this function from the hook, you can do it
simply by evaluating:

(remove-hook 'mediawiki-mode-hook 'some-stuff-for-mediawiki)
