MediaWiki Vagrant docs will tell you to visit http://dev.wiki.local.wmftest.net:8080/wiki which is fine, because this specific domain routes to 127.0.0.1 (your local host). There's nothing you have to do with DNS. All three of the following are equivalent.

* http://localhost:8080/wiki/Special:Version

* http://127.0.0.1:8080/wiki/Special:Version
