You can't just change the MediaWiki version on a button. Wikia would first have to port all their changes to multiple other MediaWiki versions before letting users choose between them. That means if you wanted to choose between three MediaWiki versions other than 1.19 Staff would have to port their whole codebase (which is a real lot of code) three times on these three MediaWiki versions. It's an impossible job of getting Staff to update their MediaWiki version once, so this user group is 100% likely not to exist with the user "rights" you mentioned.
