Github does not take .mdwn as Markdown files: https://github.com/github/markup/blob/b865add2e053f8cea3d7f4d9dcba001bdfd78994/lib/github/markups.rb#L1

I'd like to use filename extensions complaint to GitHub. My question is after renaming all markdown files from .mdwn to .md how do I correct all the dependencies? Does simply committing the renamed files to the source repository suffice?

I don't know, but I remember there's a setting in the setup file which sets the extension for Markdown files. I would create a dummy wiki for tests, where I'd create some files with .md extension and change that setting in the setup file. Then try rebuilding the wiki and see what happens.

I'm just a user, I don't know beyond that.
