MediaWiki to POTM Converter
Processing entirely on your device — large files may take a moment.
Extract text and structure from POTM templates like any PPTX. If your files are still in MediaWiki format, this page is the shortcut: 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.
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 POTM format
PPTX is the modern PowerPoint deck: a zip of XML parts describing slides, shapes, text runs and media. That structure is exactly why text can be extracted faithfully without PowerPoint — every word on every slide is in the package, with its slide number.
One honest limit: extraction is about words, not looks. Slide layouts, backgrounds, animations and images do not survive a text export — the output is the content of the deck, not a picture of it.
+Strengths
- ✓Text and slide order preserved exactly
- ✓Opens in PowerPoint, Keynote, WPS, Slides
- ✓Zip+XML structure is machine-friendly
!Limitations
- −Text export loses layout and visuals
- −Charts and tables flatten to text

Frequently asked questions
Is this MediaWiki to POTM 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 POTM?
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.
Will MediaWiki to POTM keep the slide order?
Yes — slides are read from the file in their real order and numbered, so the output follows the deck exactly.
Does the conversion include images and backgrounds?
No. This is a text extraction: words on slides survive, layouts, backgrounds, animations and pictures do not. Keep the original deck for the visuals.
