Is there a simple way to automatcially import content from a media wiki into confluence 5.9?

Question

Firstly I am not a PC developer and most of what was sain on the REST API's is a foreign language to me.

We have a Wiki in MediaWiki Locally and Corporate have Confluence (version 5.9).

I need to be able to rapidly migrate the page content (not bothered initially about embeded files or images) into a space on Confluence without having to cut n paste  thousands of pages.

The only PC languages I have anykind of familiaity with is Visual Basic (but I have used very simple PHP before)

Any help gratefully received.

Thanks. Sadly I am dead in the water as soon as it mentions 'Download to your confluence server' There is no way I will be allowed to do this :(

Hi, Peter.

By default, Confluence does not have a method to have the Mediawiki content directly imported into the site, or, other external Wiki applications. However, we do have a suggestion/feature request to have a tool for the import, bundled with Confluence:

* https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-38563

In which you can not only vote but, also share your thoughts through comments, so other users and developers can look at this as well.

We could find a tool that would allow you to convert MediaWiki  to a format Confluence Server 5.9 could use:

Hope it helps.
