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. If you can command-line access to the wiki server you can also use maintenance/importDump.php script as described here. It doesn't work this way with images though. For importing/exporting lots of images you NEED a command-line access to run this script [2]. That sucks but to the best of my knowledge we don't have a better tool yet. Finally i'd recommend your company to consider using professional support: there are lots of independent specialists as well as consulting companies that can help if you feel that your case is difficult [3] [1] http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Restoring_a_wiki_from_backup#From_an_xml_dump [2] http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:ImportImages.php [3] http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Professional_development_and_consulting ----- Yury Katkov, WikiVote On Thu, Jul 18, 2013 at 5:15 AM, Ryan Rick Acta <[email protected]> wrote: > > > Hi, > > > I am a technical writer and I have a lot of questions. > > > Our company has been using MediaWiki for their documentation. > > > We have a new client that recently bought our products and now needs help in > their documentation.
