MediaWiki to Markdown
Convert MediaWiki markup into Markdown. References become footnotes, tables become GFM tables, and templates stay visible as inline code.
Example
== Heading ==
'''bold''' and [[Page]]
## Heading
**bold** and [Page](Page)
What it keeps
- == headings ==
- Bold and italic
- Lists, links and tables
- <ref> references become Markdown footnotes
Where it struggles
- Templates ({{…}}) stay as inline code for you to replace
- Category links are removed
- File and Image links point to the bare file name
Frequently asked questions
What happens to templates?
Each template stays in the text as inline code, such as `{{citation needed}}`, so you can see and replace it. A template that spans several lines becomes a code block.
Do internal links convert?
Yes. [[Page]] becomes a Markdown link you can point wherever you like.
Is it processed locally?
Yes. Nothing is uploaded.
