At the end of
https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki&action=edit you
will find a (long) list of templates.

You need to copy the content of each "Template:***" in a page of your
wiki with exactly the same name.

However... what do you need exactly? Many of these templates are really
specific to mediawiki.org. If you are interested only in e.g. the
structure of the page then you won't need all the templates.

Usually you would find the css of a MediaWiki instance at
MediaWiki:Common.css but in our case you can find it here:

https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Gadget-site.css

There is a Main Page Styling section.
