--- Comment #10 from nageh <[email protected]> ---
Not sure what you mean. MathJax isn't TeX, it only emulates standard (mostly
math mode) commands and macros as well as a subset of the widely used
AMSsymbols and AMSmath packages (and parts of a few other packages), so we
can't include other TeX packages as such. (I guess you knew that.)

\oiint and \oiiint are supported by neither MathJax nor texvc; however, hacks
to emulate these symbols are so widespread on en.wiki (see
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Latex#.5Coiint_and_.5Coiiint) that I have
decided to let mathJax automatically detect these hacks and to either replace
them by native symbols (STIX fonts) or to at least fix the visual appearance of
these hacks (TeX fonts). In addition, in both cases, what is presented to the
reader as TeX code (MathJax menu -> Show Math As -> Tex Commands) is "\oiint"
and "\oiiint" rather than the (unreadable) hacks.

It might be a concern if \oiint and \oiiint are supported by mathJax but not by
the default texvc implementation. There are two obvious solutions to this: add
support for these symbols to MediaWiki's default texvc implementation, or
prevent users from directly using the symbols in MathJax (I'd need to think
about how to best implement that).
