Rfv-sense: Initialism (linguistics) Merriam-Webster. Even here, MediaWiki is more widely spoken of as the MW initialism than the other dictionary is. So I doubt anyone using MW to refer to Merriam-Webster. It doesn't gain any prominence as an entry/initialism in our dictionary over something like the w:New Oxford American Dictionary for example.

- I don't have time to format these citations now, but here are three: [1], [2] (by, yes, that Ben Zimmer), and [3]. (The first of those three is also by a person whose name and other info we know (which I mention because I've seen someone here say he doesn't like pseudonymous Usenet posts as cites (though I've never seen anyone say he doesn't like pseudonymous books)).)—msh210℠ (talk) 07:33, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
