Hi, Do you know what file formats will be used for the processes below especially with importing/exporting from one MediaWiki to another MediaWiki? Again, you're help is greatly appreciated.
If there is anything else, please let me know. Thanks! ________________________________ From: Yury Katkov <[email protected]> To: Ryan Rick Acta <[email protected]> Cc: MediaWiki announcements and site admin list <[email protected]>; "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, July 18, 2013 10:11 AM Subject: Re: [MediaWiki-l] Importing/Exporting Wiki There are some tools to convert one wiki markup to another. Confluence->MediaWiki conversion there is this tool: http://www.infinality.net/blog/confluence-to-mediawiki-converter-2/ It's good enough if you don't need to transfer a lot of pages. Moving pictures will be a pain. If you need MediaWiki->Confluence conversion you can use Universal Converter by Atlassian: https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.atlassian.uwc ----- Yury Katkov, WikiVote On Thu, Jul 18, 2013 at 6:00 AM, Ryan Rick Acta <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Yury, > > Thanks for the email. > > How about importing/exporting the MediaWiki content to/from Confluence? > > Do you have any idea about this? > > If there is anything else, please let me know. > > Thanks! > ________________________________ > From: Yury Katkov <[email protected]> > To: Ryan Rick Acta <[email protected]>; MediaWiki announcements and site > admin list <[email protected]> > Cc: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> > Sent: Thursday, July 18, 2013 9:55 AM > Subject: Re: [MediaWiki-l] Importing/Exporting Wiki > > Hi Ryan! > > Yeah, you can use Special:Export and Special:Import to move your > content from one wiki to another.
