https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Namespaces#Media

The 'Media:' pseudonamespace is used for an alternate way of linking to
uploaded files in the File: namespace; a link to [[Media:Foo.png]] will
link directly to the full-size Foo.png file, while a link [[File:Foo.png]]
will embed the image and link to the file information page.

It should work as it's built-in to MediaWiki core... what are you seeing
happen instead of the expected links?
