{{if|...}} is a template, {{#if:...}} (mind the colon) is a parser function. The if template probably uses the if parser function internally, you can see that by going to Template:If on the wiki this is on. To learn more about the parser function, go to https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Extension:ParserFunctions##if
