Migrate Mediawiki which has PHP pages to Confluence.

[Akshit.Modi]

hi all,
I have a mediawiki which has PHP pages, images, pngs, pdfs etc and I want to migrate the whole wiki to confluence as we want to shut down the wiki and migrate to confluence.

If any one knows any method which can help me to migrate all the pages please let me know, I cannot do it manually as Wiki contains hundreds of pages but I do have the export of it in zip format.
Thank you.

The tech behind your old wiki is not that important.  PHP for example is a way to serve up pages, but the actual content could be being served up with several other technologies (jsp or .net stuff for example, could be generating the HTML that goes to a browser)

Confluence used to have a "universal wiki importer" which was able to (mostly) convert from quite a lot of legacy wiki types into Confluence (I hesitate to label Mediawiki as "legacy", unlike the others, because Wikipedia is still using it for some reason I can't guess at), but as the older wikis have fallen out of use and people have migrated to more modern ones, the UWC stopped being developed.  An option might be to hunt down a copy of it, use it to migrate content into an old temporary development Confluence, upgrade that to the current version you have in production, and then export and import the spaces.

But the most obvious option at the moment is to scrape your wiki site out to HTML and import that into Confluence.
