MediaWiki wikitext is the markup behind Wikipedia and thousands of wiki farms: double-brace templates, equals-sign headings and [[links]]. Converting means moving knowledge between wikis and the rest of the document world.
Typical use: Convert wiki pages to Markdown/Word for offline docs, or push Markdown content into a MediaWiki instance in its native markup.
About the MediaWiki format
MediaWiki wikitext is the markup behind Wikipedia and its thousands of clones: =Headings=, [[internal links]], {{templates}} and <ref> citations. An enormous amount of public knowledge — encyclopedic, historical, technical — exists only in this syntax.
Wikis rarely export gracefully, and Markdown tools rarely import wikitext at all. A converter lets you take wiki content into proper documents (Word, EPUB, Markdown) — or publish your Markdown content back into a wiki in its own dialect.
