T2T to MediaWiki Converter
Processing entirely on your device — large files may take a moment.
txt2tags and MediaWiki Wikitext exist for different jobs: txt2tags (T2T) is a minimalist markup that compiles one source into HTML, LaTeX, man, MoinMoin and more — the write-once-publish-anywhere idea a decade before static site generators. Convert wiki pages to Markdown/Word for offline docs, or push Markdown content into a MediaWiki instance in its native markup.
Because the whole conversion happens on your device, it is instant, unlimited and genuinely private — no accounts, no watermarks, no files on anyone's server. Multiple files are converted in one go.

About the T2T format
txt2tags (T2T) is a minimalist markup that compiles one source file into HTML, LaTeX, man, MoinMoin, Wikipedia and more — the write-once-publish-anywhere idea implemented a decade before static site generators made it fashionable.
T2T installations are rare today, but documents written in it are still around. Converting T2T to Markdown moves that content into every modern tool.
+Strengths
- ✓Tiny learnable syntax
- ✓One source, many outputs by design
!Limitations
- −Tooling is no longer maintained
- −Niche user base
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
Why convert T2T to MediaWiki?
Converting makes sense where the strengths of MediaWiki meet what T2T cannot give you. The format of Wikipedia-scale knowledge bases Meanwhile Tooling is no longer maintained One pass through the converter above puts your file on the right side of that trade-off.
Frequently asked questions
Is this T2T to MediaWiki 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 T2T to MediaWiki?
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 MediaWiki result afterwards?
That depends on the target: MediaWiki 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.
Does the conversion work offline?
Yes. Once the page has loaded, the conversion itself runs entirely inside your browser — you can even disconnect and keep converting. No file ever touches a server.
