I am not sure how to do includes in mediawiki without using a plugin. We

that need to include the same text.

Here are general instructions on the syntax used by mediawiki:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Editor

And since mediawiki is the same one that Wikipedia uses their 
instructions may also be helpful:
