MediaWiki to Markdown

Convert MediaWiki markup into Markdown. References become footnotes, tables become GFM tables, and templates stay visible as inline code.

Example

MediaWiki
== Heading ==
'''bold''' and [[Page]]
Markdown
## 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.
