MediaWiki to DokuWiki Converter

Automatic script

This script will automatically convert a MediaWiki install to DokuWiki. No configuration is required as all it needs is the path to LocalSettings.php. The shell script, as was presented in sections below, did not work as expected as DokuWiki did not find the pages after they were injected manually. Instead, this script uses DokuWiki's own API to programmatically insert pages from MediaWiki.

The mw2dw-conv_sed.sh script, which you can find below, has been converted into native PHP so shell access is not required. Also runs from the web server if desired.

yamdwe tool

“yamdwe” (Yet Another Mediawiki to DokuWiki Exporter) is another export tool.

https://github.com/projectgus/yamdwe/

Pros:

It uses the MediaWiki API so can create a local DokuWiki from a remote MediaWiki install. Automatically imports full revision history for each page, imports media and (optionally) imports users & passwords if it has database access.
Uses mwlib to parse MediaWiki syntax so complex pages import more cleanly.

Cons:

Is Python based so it's more involved to set up than most of the other tools listed here (install steps for Linux are provided.)
Slow for large amounts of Mediawiki content
Categories are not converted (the content within the category pages)

Older scripts:

Updated Scripts for Converting Mediawiki 1.15.1 to Anteater.

Thanks to all of the great scripts on here I was able to do a bit more work towards making something a bit more automated. It's not perfect, but it converted over my 200 page site + files to Dokuwiki pretty well. I figured at this point any other little bugs I find I can change by hand. I didn't have time to perfect it - but hopefully someone else does.

Here's the download: http://www.passportparking.info/Download/mediawiki2dokuwiki2.tar.gz

As I said, it's got some bugs still. You need to run this on your actual mediawiki/dokuwiki server as it copies files between the two file locations.

4/16/2011 - Charlie Youakim (charlie.youakim@passportparking.com)

Bugfix! UPPER to lower convert charset, change getContent.sh:

#	lowertitle="$(echo $title | tr "[:upper:]" "[:lower:]").txt" 
	lowertitle="$(echo $title | awk '{print tolower(substr($0,0))}').txt"

Web Based Version

Hey, I was playing with AWK and Perl a little bit. I created a MediaWiki to DokuWiki Converter. A online converter is now hosted at http://johbuc6.coconia.net/mediawiki2dokuwiki.php.

Requirements

bash
Perl

Capabilities

It is able to transform

Links
Bold/italic text
Lists
Talkings
Code

Limitations

One Page at once

Missing features (yet)

It is not able to transform

tables
CODE (that is, different lines of text starting with a space), should be surrounded by <code></code> in DokuWiki

Bugs

```
[text hello]
```
is converted into a link
```
[[text|hello]]
```
but it should just stay like that

'''''IMPORTANT!!!'''''

is converted into

**//IMPORTANT!!!**//

but should be

//**IMPORTANT!!!**//

or

**//IMPORTANT!!!//**

```
//server/share
```
is not converted, but since // opens italic font, this line should be translated to
```
<nowiki>//</nowiki>server/share
```

Howto use (for shell newbies)

Make sure you are under Linux/Unix
Save the code above in a file named mediawiki2dokuwiki.sh.
Save the MediaWiki page you want to transform to a file called mediawiki in the same directory.

In the shell go to the directory (using cd) and execute:

chmod +x mediawiki2dokuwiki.sh #we want to be able to execute it
./mediawiki2dokuwiki.sh

Now you got some files called mediawiki+a number. These are debugging steps (ignore).
In the file 'dokuwiki' you'll find your DokuWiki-Syntax.

Feedback & discussion

Yeah, i could remove leading whitespaces at all, but this might ruin the design. Johannes Buchner 2006-01-27 11:41
I just began to implement tables with:
```
  perl -pe "s/^[ ]*\{\|[^\|]*$//g" |
  perl -pe "s/^[ ]*\|\}[ ]*$//g" |
  perl -pe "s/^[ ]*\|([^\|]+)\|[ ]*$/|${1}|/g" 
  # ...
```
But tables in Wikimedia are crap. I suggest to use a html2wiki implementation for this need ('cause the needs will be very special) like http://diberri.dyndns.org/html2wiki.html Johannes Buchner 2006-01-27 12:00
Feedback/Questions:
- Feedback by Juergen Mueller: Is there an easy way to convert a bunch of MediaWiki articles to DokuWiki articles at once? Our MediaWiki wiki has some hundreds of articles and therefore it is not feasible to do it manually file by file.

Code markup

Graham Macleod 30/1/08 1:50pm GMT - Hi there. Code mark up which displays such as

<?php echo 'THIS IS CODE'; ?>

in DokuWiki uses double spaces but your converter seems to keep the single space that MediaWiki uses. I'd also just like to take the time to give you massive props on this. It's been a life saver.

sed Version

I changed this script to use sed, and have made a few improvements (see bugs & missing features). Maybe this can be of use for someone.

There is also one issue, when bold and italic texts are combined. I tested with the German UNIX Wikipedia article and there were 2 tags that made whole parts of the generated DokuWiki in bold. The following code fixes this behaviour:

$ diff mediawiki2dokuwiki.sh mediawiki2dokuwiki.sh.080925-1

Automatic script

This script get the contents of your mediawiki (by database connection), and convert it to dokuwiki syntax. All, out of the box, you only need to configure user/password of database.

Example:

cd mediawiki2dokuwiki
./getContent.sh
mv old /var/www/dokuwiki/data/pages
chmod a+r /var/www/dokuwiki/data/pages/old -R

Here you can find the package: http://dabax.net/files/mediawiki2dokuwiki.tar.gz (this link is broken as of 9/3/2012)

This is the main script.

#!/bin/bash

#About your mediawiki
WIKIDB="DATABSE_NAME"
WIKIPASS="DATABASE_PASSWORD"

#The destination folder
DEST="old"

#Dont touch this
TITLES="titles"
PHARSER="./m2d.sh"

mysql --password=$WIKIPASS $WIKIDB -e 'select cur_title from cur;' | \
while read title; do

	newtitle="$(echo $title | tr "[:upper:]" "[:lower:]").txt" 
	echo "$newtitle"
	mysql --password=$WIKIPASS $WIKIDB -e "select cur_text from cur where cur_title='$title';" \
	| sed s/'\\n'/\\n/g | grep -v cur_text |  $PHARSER $DEST/$newtitle 

done

for f in $DEST/*; do 
	[ $(cat $f | wc -w) -lt 25 ] && \
	{ echo "Deleting $f, too short"; rm -f $f;}
done



echo ""
echo "Done. Put the contents of $DEST to Path_Of_dokuwiki/data/pages/"

m2d.sh is the “sed version” published in this page, with some modifications. Enjoy it!

ERROR 1146 (42S02) at line 1: Table 'dbname.cur' doesn't exist

Hi,

Using the above attached code, I'm having some problems:

ERROR 1146 (42S02) at line 1: Table 'pswiki.cur' doesn't exist
cat: old/*: No such file or directory
Deleting old/*, too short

Done. Put the contents of old to Path_Of_dokuwiki/data/pages/

(where pswiki is the database containing my MW data, which came from a Windows-based MySQL server via mysqldump.) The directory ./old is empty.

If I turn on MySQL statement logging:

SET GLOBAL general_log_file='/var/log/mysql/sql.log';
SET GLOBAL general_log='ON';

then I get the following only in that log file when I run ./getContent.sh:

110216  2:11:17    75 Connect   root@localhost on pswiki
                   75 Query     select @@version_comment limit 1
                   75 Query     select cur_title from cur
                   75 Quit

It looks to me as if what's intended to be a cursor is being interpreted as a literal table name, but I'm getting out of my depth there. I have tried back-ticking `cur` in getContent.sh to no avail.

Can anyone shed light?

Thanks!

EDIT: I've used the web-based service linked above, and apart from some table funnies it worked very well - a lifesaver. Thanks!

— tomgreen 2011/02/18 03:26

I have solved the “cur problem”. It is assumed, for my opinion, as a VIEW. Create this view, named “cur”, with the following SQL request :

CREATE VIEW cur AS SELECT mw_page.page_title AS cur_title, mw_text.old_text AS cur_text
FROM mw_page,mw_text WHERE mw_page.page_id=mw_text.old_id;

and re-run the shell.

Hope this helps!
