Hi Rob,
my company has done several migrations to MediaWiki before where HTML was the intermediate
format. There are HTML to MW converters as well as automated import tools for MediaWiki
articles.
I do not know much about PBWiki. From my experience with other systems, though, you
usually need to preprocess the data. Is the export one big HTML file or one file per
article? Is it easy to parse (e.g. does it have some complex HTML structures and layout)?
How about files, e.g. images (they need to be imported separately).
If you could give me some more details I might be able to point you to some scripts you
could try.
Best,
Markus

Betreff: [MediaWiki-l] Move from PBwiki to Mediawiki
Does anyone have any tips on the best way to transfer a wiki from PBwiki to Mediawiki? I
have a large amount of entries that need to be moved. I can export PBwiki to a HTML file.
Thanks in advance.
Rob
