A lot depends on your mediawiki installation. I'm also in the middle of translating a mediawiki to trac and I ran into a couple of issues. 1) The mediawiki users did their hyperlinks with extra [[ in them, and 2) The "attachments"/uploaded files for mediawiki is a different paradigm than how Trac deals with uploaded files.
So here are some things that should get you going: * The script posted above may not be the most recent version of said script as there were changes in the mediawiki db schema that render the link at http://trac.edgewall.org/attachment/wiki/TracWiki/mediawiki2trac.py not useful to you. Instead you may want to use the link posted here: http://trac.edgewall.org/attachment/ticket/5241/mediawiki2trac.ph (note the file extension is ph, you'll want to rename that to .py on your system) * Even using the script, I found that the import wasn't perfect. If you're used to the table of contents automagically forming on your MediaWiki, then that isn't going to happen once you migrate the wiki using this script. I haven't looked at any of the various TableOfContents plugin/macros, but I don't think there's an analog to what Mediawiki does in creating a TOC based on header lines. So if you need that feature, then you'll want to look at... * The MediaWiki Macro at http://trac-hacks.org/wiki/MediaWikiPluginMacro. Note that in order to usefully combine this with your script, you will want to comment out all the replacement lines and add the following: wiki = "{{{\n#!mediawiki\n" + row[0][1] + "\n}}}\n" # convert mediawiki to tracwiki # wiki = wiki.replace("\n***","\n *") # wiki = wiki.replace("\n**", "\n *") # wiki = wiki.replace("\n*", "\n *") # wiki = wiki.replace("[[","wiki:") # wiki = wiki.replace("]]","") # wiki = wiki.replace("<br>","[[BR]]") # wiki = wiki.replace("\n:","\n ") Note that the script requires you to know the hostname, dbname, username, and password to your mediawiki installation, so replace that as well. This method had much better results. It generated a Table of Contents and for the most part looked reasonably sharp. There were some issues however on pages that may have been processing HTML or some other not- standard flavor of wiki-ese that threw some errors. I haven't had a chance to look into it yet, but hopefully this helps you enough where you can make an educated decision on what you want. And of course if you find something better, please post back to the list.
