Migrating documents from mediawiki to confluence

[binayak silwal]

Hi,

We have heaps of documents in MediaWiki, and we want to copy everything across to confluence.

Is there any tool that can convert MediaWiki mark-up to confluence mark-up ?

Regards,

Silwal

Hi,

try the Universal Wiki Converter as it support MediaWiki.

Cheers,
Christian

UWC is unsupported and does not work for Confluence 5.x +

What are the *current* options for migrating from a mediawiki installation to Confluence?

Any ideas? I have the same problem, I need to convert my mediawiki to confluence and include links & images and attachments

UWC may be unsupported but it generally does work for Confluence 5.x -- please be more specific.

Hey Sergey, I finally got it to compile and run and my MediaWiki-Connection works. But as soon as I start exporting it throws an error: 2015-07-06 14:20:19,717 ERROR [Thread-9] - Error while: Executing statement: select page_id, page_namespace, page_title, page_latest from mywiki_page where page_namespace>=100 or page_namespace=0 or page_namespace=2; 2015-07-06 14:20:19,717 ERROR [Thread-9] - java.lang.NullPointerException at com.atlassian.uwc.exporters.MediaWikiExporter.getMediaWikiPages(MediaWikiExporter.java:405) at com.atlassian.uwc.exporters.MediaWikiExporter.exportMediawiki(MediaWikiExporter.java:238) at com.atlassian.uwc.exporters.MediaWikiExporter.export(MediaWikiExporter.java:159) at com.atlassian.uwc.ui.listeners.ExportWikiListener.exportWiki(ExportWikiListener.java:205) at com.atlassian.uwc.ui.listeners.ExportWikiListener$Worker.construct(ExportWikiListener.java:325) at com.atlassian.uwc.ui.SwingWorker$2.run(SwingWorker.java:110) at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source)

I found my solution: I had to set the Database-Prefix to myDatabaseName.myprefix_ in order for the SQL statement to run. It returned a Nullpointer exception because it wasnt operating on the real database
