Description
InterwikiLoadPrefix hook was deprecated in MediaWiki 1.36.
Seemingly, src/HookRegistry registers a hook that substitutes an interwiki that is registered as $seqlgExternalRepositoryEndpoints.
In MW 1.36 that hook was deprecated (https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/rMW3d40c43b1f2778fa5799499d88fbb248f1e74488 and then https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/rMWcfbdd8cfb57d4252b87994b06709fe1c378990fe). The deprecators were under the impression that the hook was only used in tests.
It seems that there are no longer a mechanism that allows to correct an interwiki for the purpose of getting external semantic data.

Compare this integration with the MediaWiki 1.36 deprecation references, then identify and document the supported replacement mechanism and the behavior that should be restored.
