not specifically MediaWiki, but from a few other systems into SharePoint online.
Essentially the process is using PowerShell PnP, but not the Transformation framework, I kinda developed my own I guess
1. Iterate through every page on system
2. For each page
2.1 Get HTML > Transform HTML to be compatible with SharePoint HTML (find and replace styling, html elements)
2.2 Create a new page in SharePoint Online from base page template using details of page from source system
2.3 Upload transformed HTML into Text webpart sections of new page created
3 - Manually remediate pages where needed
Doing this gets 50% of the job done for migrating all the pages and content, them it a whole bunch of clean up work to manually be done - SharePoint Online just doesn't support a whole bunch of standard html and also with limitations of images embedding an the like
