There is indeed a package for mediawiki126, however it was created in
2015Q4 (this quarter). 10.2 now follows the quarterly ports branches by
default. As Q1 starts this week you can choose to wait a week or
alternatively switch your package repo to ports/head by changing the
url line in /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf from:

  url: "pkg+http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/quarterly",

to

  url: "pkg+http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/latest",
