[xwiki-users] Converting MediaWiki to Xwiki
Hi all, I was wondering if anyone knew of any methods to convert mediawiki pages to xwiki pages. Preferably with the assistance of a tool as I am looking to convert about 200 or so pages. Thanks to anyone who knows a solution to this!

Tasif, what kind of automation level do you expect? Do you feel like you'll have to adapt code anyways since there's some special markup in your wiki? I'm currently working on an import of an (old) confluence and handcrafting will get me there. The mediawiki and confluence situations are pretty similar: the syntaxes are there but that's not it all for the conversion (e.g. list the pages, get authorizations, access the source). Part of the crafting included a tool to automatically upload attachments (e.g. as images from a web-page or as local files), another is to search replace a few things in the source because of our custom macro. I'll be doing the final (about 80 pages) by manual invocation of each page at the end. Surely it's not a push-button system to get you there, but is probably better mastered. If you're ready to try to adapt the code (in Groovy, mostly done as if it was Java), I'm happy to share. Paul

Thanks Vincent for the reminder, Tausif, I've shared my script using the tags migration and confluence on: http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/DownloadFromOtherWikiPa... If it is effective for you to migrate mediawiki, then please add the tag mediawiki. thanks Paul

Thank you Paul and Vincent for your replies. I will take a look at the scripts you have posted, but I must admit I am still effectively learning much of this as I go along so I will do my best to work with the resources provided.
