Last time I did a mediawiki import I used
https://github.com/xwiki-contrib/sandbox/tree/master/xwiki-wikiimporter,
worked reasonably well but yes there is no release of it (but it's
easy to build it with Maven). Ideally someone need to spend some time
converting and improving the mediawiki part it as an input module for
the new XWiki Filter module (see
http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Filter+Module).

Hi all,
I’m trying to get us migrated from several installations of MediaWiki to one XWiki. I
have installed XWiki 6.3 just fine… but the big problem is migrating the data over.
So far all the options I’ve found have been sorely lacking.
-The method provided on the Encodo blog, uses the XMLRPC API which has since been
deprecated
-The Mediawiki to Xwiki Migration Toolkit requires setting up an entire development
environment with a special customized version of XWiki just to do the import, which is
unnecessarily complex and error-prone.
-A few other methods which may work, but omit portions such as history.
Is there a relatively simple batch import mechanism that works with the current versions
of xwiki, or am I relegated to importing stuff manually? I *could* write my own import
tool, but if I have to go that route we may as well just do it manually because we will
need to audit and clean up the articles anyway.
