Then go to the page Special:XMLTransformation, here you can insert the needed resources to be transformed:

the URL of the RDF/XML resource you want to transform
and the xsl stylesheet that contains the rules for transformation (this must be a Wiki page, e.g.: “MediaWiki:SMWToSKOS.xsl” see an example at https://terms.tdwg.org/wiki/MediaWiki:SMWToSKOS.xsl)
