Anyone have a process or tool for this besides manually editing the

I've encountered this hiccup with a few teams now. Most folks I've
talked to about it would like an easy way to transfer text from
etherpads to wikis quickly, without having to worry about writing the
etherpad text in wiki markup.
I just filed https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T127207 .. once that is
fixed (which shouldn't be difficult), you can take the HTML from
etherpad and use Parsoid to serialize it to wikitext (via
https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/?doc#!/Transforms/post_transform_html_to_wikitext_title_revision)
which basically talks to Parsoid (or
http://parsoid-lb.eqiad.wikimedia.org/_html/ .. but this entrypoint is
going away soon).
We'll try to fix T127207 soon which should make this usable. The output
will still need some massaging. This is still not quite seamless .. but,
a first step.
Over the last 6 months, we have had different possibilities like this
emerge. google doc html -> wikitext; markup (github or other flavours)
-> wikitext; and now etherpad html -> wikitext. Perhaps we should
provide some helper web api somewhere that uses parsoid under the hood
to massage the html a bit and generate clean wikitext. Looks like a good
opw / gsoc project. :)
Subbu.
I also stumbled across this extension:
