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!

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]

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. Our product documentations are posted in our wiki site. The clients are now
requesting that they have copies of our documentation.
I am also proposing that the create/build their wiki site on MediaWiki to have an easy
transition with regards to the documentation. Now the process of transferring the
documentation will be exporting and importing wikis.
I have found the following articles regarding importing/exporting wikis:
* Help:Export:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Export
* Help:Import:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Import
Can you confirm that these are the articles that i need regarding importing/exporting
wikis?
Is it possible to import/export our wikis to a new MediaWiki for the client?
One more thing, we also have some documents in Confluence
(Atlassian Confluence 3.5.3). Is there a way to import/export them to
our MediaWiki page (we call them Docs Wiki)? It also needs to completely
replicate the Confluence page including the codes, images and links.
Hope you can help me on this. I would really appreciate this.
If there is anything else, please let me know.
Thanks!
PS. I am unsure if i should directly name our company and the client. This is regarding
the confidentiality clause.
