Well, that depends on the manga then. Doesn't it? It doesn't have to do with starting the wiki per se. But yeah, learning HTML, CSS, and JS is not necessary if you are just starting out. MediaWiki makes it a lot simpler than that. Although, that means you have to know how to use the MediaWiki markup (a.k.a. wikitext). While it is good to have a general idea of the content and text can certainly be developed offline, I would not suggest trying to develop the appearance offline; unless you want to install your own local copy of MediaWiki. However, even then, you should note that Wikia's version is significantly different from the latest base version. So even if you did that, you would probably end up with a handful or two of errors due to version differences.
