No, not at all - that just installs the pl/pgsql language in the
database. However....

...it looks as if MediaWiki has created a schema for itself during the
installation procedure, and that's where the tables and stuff are.
If you're not familiar with schemas, here's the section of the docs you
need to read:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.0/static/ddl-schemas.html
Have a look at section 5.3.7 on the search path in particular, as this
will make your life much easier when using psql. :-)
