## Step 4: Mediawiki plugin or Converting to Markdown
|
||||
|
||||
You can use a plugin to make ikiwiki support Mediawiki syntax, or you can
|
||||
convert pages to a format ikiwiki understands.
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 4a: Mediawiki plugin
|
||||
|
||||
The [[plugins/contrib/mediawiki]] plugin can be used by ikiwiki to interpret
|
||||
most of the Mediawiki syntax.

### Step 4b: Converting pages

|
||||
#### Converting to Markdown
|
||||
|
||||
There is a Python script for converting from the Mediawiki format to Markdown in [[mithro]]'s conversion repository at <http://github.com/mithro/media2iki>. *WARNING:* While the script tries to preserve everything is can, Markdown syntax is not as flexible as Mediawiki so the conversion is lossy!
|
||||
|
||||
# The script needs the mwlib library to work
|
||||
# If you don't have easy_install installed, apt-get install python-setuptools
|
||||
sudo easy_install mwlib
|
||||
|
||||
# Get the repository
|
||||
git clone git://github.com/mithro/media2iki.git
|
||||
cd media2iki
|
||||
|
||||
# Do a conversion
|
||||
python mediawiki2markdown.py --no-strict --no-debugger <my mediawiki file> > output.md

## Scripts

|

[[sabr]] used to explain how to [import MediaWiki content into
|
||||
git](http://u32.net/Mediawiki_Conversion/index.html?updated), including full
|
||||
edit history, but as of 2009/10/16 that site is not available. A copy of the
|
||||
information found on this website is stored at <http://github.com/mithro/media2iki>.
|
||||
There is a repository of tools for converting MediaWiki to Git based Markdown wiki formats (such as ikiwiki and github wikis) at <http://github.com/mithro/media2iki>. It also includes a standalone tool for converting from the Mediawiki format to Markdown. [[mithro]] doesn't frequent this page, so please report issues on the [github issue tracker](https://github.com/mithro/media2iki/issues).
