Hi Rob,

my company has done several migrations to MediaWiki before where HTML was the 
intermediate format. There are HTML to MW converters as well as automated 
import tools for MediaWiki articles. 

I do not know much about PBWiki. From my experience with other systems, though, 
you usually need to preprocess the data. Is the export one big HTML file or one 
file per article? Is it easy to parse (e.g. does it have some complex HTML 
structures and layout)? How about files, e.g. images (they need to be imported 
separately). 

If you could give me some more details I might be able to point you to some 
scripts you could try.

Best,
Markus

Betreff: [MediaWiki-l] Move from PBwiki to Mediawiki

Does anyone have any tips on the best way to transfer a wiki from PBwiki to 
Mediawiki? I have a large amount of entries that need to be moved. I can export 
PBwiki to a HTML file. Thanks in advance.

Rob
