I've been looking for a while and I can't seem to find a HTML to MediaWiki Converter.

I'm looking for somewhere where I can type something like:

HTML Code:
<a href="https://mediawiki.org">MediaWiki</a>

and I get:

MediaWiki Code:
[https://mediawiki.org MediaWiki]

or you type MediaWiki code and get HTML code

Like this:

MediaWiki Code:
[https://mediawiki.org MediaWiki]

and I get:

HTML Code:
<a href="https://mediawiki.org">MediaWiki</a>

You can convert between html & MediaWiki (in both directions) with pandoc. There are a lot of other possible conversions available to list available input formats run pandoc --list-input-formats for output formats pandoc --list-output-formats and if course for help use pandoc --help | more.

  • Free, gratis & Open Source.
  • Command line
  • Cross Platform
  • Normally used with one, or more, input files (or URLs) and an output file specified with the -o flag.
  • Can be used interactively by just using the command pandoc -f input_format -t output_format and typing or pasting in the text but will only output the results when control-C is pressed to exit.

Command Line Example

Latest release, bug tracker & source are all available on GitHub

  • Doesn't seem to always convert correctly. I'm using gamepedia (which used mediawiki). Not sure if this info is useful but I hope helps somehow – TigerYT Jun 30 '18 at 19:06
  • It may be because it hasn't been updated in two years? Oh, I'm also using pandoc.org/try – TigerYT Jun 30 '18 at 19:12
  • @TigerYT - It would be helpful to know what it doesn't convert properly ideally as a ticket on github.com/jgm/pandoc – Steve Barnes Jun 30 '18 at 20:10
  • Last release was 2.2.1 on 11th May 2018 at github.com/jgm/pandoc/releases - it might be the web site that is behind the times :-) – Steve Barnes Jun 30 '18 at 20:12
  • Yes, must be. though devotter.com/converter worked perfectly (Uses Pandoc) – TigerYT Jun 30 '18 at 20:49
