Questions about LGPedia and mediawiki extensions

I was considering importing all the old CassieIsWatching stuff from the Wayback Machine version of LGPedia, but ran into a bit of a snag. I don't know what mediawiki extensions The Creators had installed. One, in particular, is going to really cause issues. It's used to link to articles in wikipedia itself, with a tag such as "{{wikipedia|MMORG|MMORPG}}" (minus the quotes). I don't know what extension they used to do this. Anyone have any ideas? I'm aware that the current version has inter-wiki linking built in, but it uses a more standard wiki tag, and {{ }} is used to indicate a template is used. So, in my version, it looks as if I am trying to use a non-existent template, which is not at all what I wanted.

edit: Actually, after further research, it does appear that they had used a template to link out to wikipedia articles. Problem solved :)
