Description

Here's a rake task that will migrate pages from MediaWiki. It will prompt you for the required information, such as mediawiki database connection, target redmine project to translate pages into, target mediawiki page, redmine page author, and whether to use the mediawiki page target as a namespace base to translate multiple pages.

It will prompt you at each page to decide whether to translate the page or not. MediaWiki ':' separators are translated to '_' in redmine.

It won't download images from mediawiki, but it will translate the image tags, so you'll just have to attach the images to the page in redmine after it's been translated.

It also won't retain mediawiki in-line table formatting.

As always, fixes/improvements are welcome. This worked well enough for me, but obviously it doesn't cover absolutely everything.

Updated code. Sorry, I never used the bit that creates a new project...

If I answer 'No' to the last question the script ask to translate the next page and so on. I executed the import on mediawiki 1.12 and 1.9

A big thank for your time.

The script was written agains MW 1.8.2. Most likely they have changed the schema from what I coded. You'll have to download the mediawiki schema document and sort things out for yourself. You may even need to change the script, depending on what they've changed in the schema.

I think this ticket is obsolete. The script maybe work only for some very old version of mediawiki.
