MediaWiki to ADOC Converter
Processing entirely on your device — large files may take a moment.
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. Convert ADOC exactly like AsciiDoc: into Word, Markdown or HTML.
iLoveConverter processes everything locally on your computer, which makes it private and fast: no upload wait, no server storage, no limits. Add as many files as you like — batch conversion is built in.

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.
+Strengths
- ✓The format of Wikipedia-scale knowledge bases
- ✓Templates and citations as first-class citizens
- ✓Versioned and linked by the wiki engine
!Limitations
- −Dialects vary between wiki farms
- −Templates rarely convert meaningfully
- −Readability suffers without a wiki renderer
About the ADOC format
AsciiDoc is what happens when lightweight markup grows up. Where Markdown stops at bold and lists, AsciiDoc carries title pages, multi-level sections, callouts, admonitions, xrefs and real table syntax — enough to author entire technical books without leaving plain text. The Git and Linux-kernel documentation ecosystems standardized on it, rendered through Asciidoctor.
The format's weakness is tooling gravity: AsciiDoc converters outside the Asciidoctor/Ruby world are scarce, which is exactly where Pandoc fills the gap. Converting to Word hands manuscripts to editors who live in Office; converting to Markdown feeds modern docs sites. The section structure and tables survive the trip.
+Strengths
- ✓Book-grade structure: sections, callouts, admonitions, xrefs
- ✓Powering Git and Linux kernel docs — battle-tested at scale
- ✓Stays readable as plain text
!Limitations
- −Heavier syntax than Markdown for casual notes
- −Converter ecosystem concentrated in Asciidoctor tooling
- −Multiple dialects (legacy asciidoc vs asciidoctor)

Frequently asked questions
Is this MediaWiki to ADOC converter really free?
Yes — completely free, with no sign-up, no watermark and no daily conversion limits. The site is supported by advertising.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. The conversion runs entirely inside your browser using WebAssembly, so your files never leave your device — that is what makes it instant and private.
Does it work on Windows, Mac, iPhone and Android?
Yes. Anything with a modern browser works: Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS. No software installation is required.
Is there a file size limit for MediaWiki to ADOC?
The only limit is your device's memory, since nothing is uploaded. Files up to a few hundred megabytes work fine on a modern desktop browser; very large files simply take a little longer.
Can I edit the ADOC result afterwards?
That depends on the target: ADOC is designed for what it does, and this converter reproduces its content faithfully rather than inventing editable structure. For heavy re-editing, work from a format built for editing and export the final version here.
Will the layout of my MediaWiki file be preserved exactly?
This converter renders your MediaWiki content into ADOC with pages, proportions and images kept as close to the original as the target format allows. Use the preview before downloading to confirm it looks the way you expect.
