How big is your conversion table? is it sufficient to just redirect all URLs that end with .html to remove the .html? (then you don't need a table)
IIRC, the traditional way on WMF wikis to do dynamic changes to the "no page here" page or redirects based on a pattern is with javascript. (e.g. in [[mediawiki:common.js]]) One use that I think existed once on some wiki was to do a search for the page name and redirect automatically if one existed with the same spelling but some letters in a different case. (DUMBO vs. Dumbo)
You could probably also do something with http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Hooks/ShowMissingArticle

Well, a site is being moved from a flat weebly layout (this_is_my_page.html) to a wiki style (This_is_my_page), and I wanted
to,
on every 404 page not found, check an internal conversion table ( this_is_my_page.html -> This_is_my_page ) and then 301 to that page. Is it possible? [...]
Wouldn't it be easier to just dump the internal conversion table as .htaccess rewrites (or your server's equivalent)?
