It's called Moin2Tiki, and is hosted on Gitlab:

I've written it in Mercury. That's an advanced logic (and functional)
language. You would have to learn it if you want to make use of the MoinMoin
parser component. The language is relatively hard to learn, but it's
definitely worth it. It will change the way you're thinking about
programming.

Here are some introductions to Mercury:

Or perhaps you change your mind and migrate to Tiki instead? Tiki has a lot
of good features. For instance, you can have embedded databases. That's one
of the reasons why I migrated. On the downside, it's large and it takes some
time to set up. 

Here's a beginner's introduction to Tiki:

Happy hacking,
