The text below from the source conversion page www.jsoftware.com/jwiki/MediaWiki/SourceConversion is relevant. Most LaTeX did convert properly, but those that did not need to be fixed manually. I suggest just trying ordinary LaTeX, see code.jsoftware.com/wiki/Help/LaTeX.
------ The LaTeX support is completely different. MoinMoin itself does not officially support LaTeX, so it was done in the J Wiki with an addon that called the usual LaTeX interpreter on any LaTeX commands in a page. This meant that essentially all LaTeX commands were available in the old J Wiki. In contrast, MediaWiki does support LaTeX but limits the commands to a subset considered appropriate for a wiki, in order to avoid scripted access to the server. Also LaTeX was sometimes used just for formatting ordinary text in ways not supported by MoinMoin. Such expressions typically do not convert properly, though in most cases the required formatting is now supported directly by MediaWiki. The overall effect is that it is hard to convert LaTeX expressions properly, and this often needs special handling for each page. A minor problem with the conversion is that for some migrated pages, it is necessary to edit and save the page (no change is necessary) before the LaTeX is fully processed.
