RDFIO is a Mediawiki extension which:

adds SPARQL Endpoint to SMW installtion
imports RDFs into the wiki

The following article was quite eye opening, as to how RDFIO can be used to expand the territory of Mediawiki + Semantic Mediawiki into Semantic Web.

Installing

Installation of RDFIO is simple, if the installation steps are followed.

However, as described in the following issue: the extension development team is having a hard time to keep up with the development and deployment rate of Mediawiki. So for the moment, for Mediawiki 1.34.1, the branch 59-make-work-with-mw-1.34 should be checkout.

cd extensions/Rdfio
git checkout 59-make-work-with-mw-1.34
php ../../maintenance/update.php

Once done in the page Special:RDFIOAdmin it should read: "The triplestore is already set up"

import RDF

using Rdfio/maintenance/importRdf.php it is possible to import to the wiki RDF files. As example I will import Tim Berners Lee FOAF card

php importRdf.php --server http://localhost --in ~/Documents/Projects/RDF/LearningSparql/TimBernersLee.ttl
