Migrate from Mediawiki to Confluence

Marcus V_

Hello,

i need to migrate a big Mediawiki (135.000+ Sites) for a customer to Confluence.

The only tool available seems to be UWC,

but the tool simply stops at 7-11% randomly with Conversion Status NONE.

I cloned it from GitHub, but 3 dependencies are broken, so I can't fix it.

I converted it with UWC and a php script.

Is there another way to do it?

UWC is what we use, but we have forked it and made a bunch of changes to it. It's no longer maintained by the original author. I've seen people use python, but I don't know if they wrote everything from scratch or used something readily available. Sorry I don't have better news for you.

Thanks for the answer.

I will try to find another solution.

@Marcus V_ Have you found something? :-)

I need to migrate a Mediawiki to Confluence too. In my case I have few pages to migrate (less than 1000).

Atlassian says that UWC is no longer available.
You comment here that there are scripts in Python, Php or GitHab to migrate it.

Could you share any example of these scripts?

Thanks.

I can provide the UWC tool and the php script I have used.

I will upload it when I'm back in office on monday.

U need the php script to create the structure before importing it via UWC.

Yes. The main problem was the java gui.

Using some scripts to run the program in the command line I was able to import all sites into my confluence instance.

For the media wiki I needed to migrate it took 18 hours for the conversion and upload.

Some problems also occured running two seperate java version on the machine where the tool was running.

I can provide the scripts and some of the documention I wrote for the customer on monday.

Sorry for the pretty late response.
