As mentioned in https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T130970, the bullet lists the Etherpad edit surface are terrible, but if you use the export feature you get properly structured HTML which can be pasted into VisualEditor.
A better solution would be to have the collaborative editing directly in MediaWiki in the first place: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/COLLABPAD

To make meeting notes even easier to read, is there a tool that would convert links to wikitext?

The only existing (or documented at least) tool is here, but all it does is change single-linebreaks (without bulletpoints) into <br>
https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Etherpad.wikimedia.org#Converting_etherp... E.g. it creates a complete mess if you run it on https://etherpad.wikimedia.org/p/Hackathon_showcase_template (because of the etherpad-style-bulletpoints)

If someone made a tool that converted etherpads into cleaned-up wikitext that would be great. It could be used for a variety of things including wikifying event-session notes and various team's weekly meeting notes. _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
