WikiCreole is a feature-reduced markup. Features which may help with such conversion, such as the proposed extension/plug-in syntax, have not been included in WikiCreole 1.0. Also, WikiCreole does not reference HTML or CSS, unlike MediaWiki which allows a broad range of filtered HTML attributes, including a minimally filtered style attribute. WikiCreole can be converted to HTML, but the converse most certainly isn't true.
So in a nutshell, not well at all.
The most plausible proposal is to allow WikiCreole in new MediaWiki installations. An alternative parser could be provided, and the user could select it on install. We could use the traditional parser for processing internationalised UI text, some of which is wikitext.
1) do they conflict (IE: must any given page be *either* one or the other)
2) are the unambiguous markers that would identify which one a user was working in?
3) if 1 is true, then why, again, was the decision taken to create a new markup that conflicts with MWtext, given the installed universe? :-)
