VE does a pretty good job for one-off conversions.
I'm looking for a tool that non-technical staff can use for converting large numbers of docs into mostly usable wikitext. I don't know without more (recent) research whether Pandoc or LibreOffice supports better conversion. Just wondering if anyone has setup something like this or knows of its existence.
Thanks,
Greg

You can paste rich text into the Visual Editor. The wikitext it produces usually needs some cleaning up afterward (bold headings, inconsistent list markup, etc), but it's probably the easiest for non-technical folks.

And alas, there's nothing found on ToolHub for pandoc either.

You might like to give https://pandoc.org/ a try?
Thanks.
For cli users, pandoc is probably the best choice. And I would
certainly consider it as the conversion engine when standing up a new service to convert docx to Wikitext.
When I said "Our users have found...", I meant non-technical users who
want to contribute to the wiki and have existing MS Word content.
Best regards,
Greg
