There are actually mediawiki to confluence specific conversion tools, however they all suck... Tried this a few times a few different ways before we started down the manual conversion want...
Not only is the manual way working better, its also catching old outdated information and striking it where needed in many places... Sure there is probably some of this old data making it thru, buts its a lot more controlled this way

Hi Ítalo,
I was looking at the mod_voicemail page as a typical page.

If you look at the html on the confluence wiki, its pretty messy. eg each line is surrounded with a <p></p> tag pair.
Do you think its more work to fix up a page scraped from mediawiki than to take the mw source and convert it to html using the script you linked to?
I don't really have any fantastic ideas unfortunately. I realise its a hard problem and I just wanted to discuss with others to see what's been thought of.

Hi Jason,
Seems possible at first look, but, there's a lot of details involved :/
We have a script that can translate the from old media wiki format to the new confluence, but:
https://github.com/EvoluxBR/fs_docs_translator
We need to create a new page on confluence, save, edit, click in view source and paste the converted code.
It's easier to copy & paste directly the HTML from media wiki to the confluence editor, after small adjustments the content is ready.
If you have an idea, please share with us :)

Hi Guys,
Sorry if I have missed this discussion already. I did look in the
archives and couldn't see anything.
I've been thinking of ways to migrate a page from the old format that is
stored in confluence to the new format.
Has anyone looked at tools to assist this? Initially I thought regexs
could help but of course that doesn't work well for html.
What about writing some scripts in perl perhaps? or a tool that is
designed for manipulating html.
