I own a MediaWiki website that is showing Google AdSense. As of September 30th 2015 AdSense requires compliance with the EU cookie law.

The Google Adsense Team is pointing to www.google.com/about/company/user-consent-policy-help.html and it looks as if Adsense will be disabled on websites that don't follow this page and www.cookiechoices.org/.
There are some okay solutions for Drupal and
for WordPress, but I haven't yet found anything obvious for MediaWiki. What's the best way to move forward with this?

I'm open to creating a MediaWiki extension, but I'm not sure what would be a good starting point. Maybe cookieguard, a jQuery plugin? Any other ideas?

Is this not what you are looking for? www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:CookiePolicy?

Cookie Guard lets you list all the known cookies used on your site and offers site visitors the opportunity to block or allow non-essential and unknown cookies.

It's the best starting point for MediaWiki website as this EU law concerned.

EU Cookie law was finally recognised as mostly unimplementable nonsense and backtracked a bit and so the info in your linked question is largely out of date. EU directives are not law themselves but instantiated by laws in the member states so your actual requirement depends on the specific country you do business/host in.

Generally you don't actually need an annoying pop-up if you are only using the standard cookies, just a visible link to a cookie policy page listing what ones are used. So as a static page this won't require a plugin.
