Has anyone successfully migrated a WordPress site to a wiki?
-
@stefan tried to build one once. With Jimmy Wales. We were mostly successful.

@stefan this is way out of date but the concept was collaborative editing and pinned revisions
GitHub - wikitribune/fabrica-collaborative-editing: Plugin to make WordPress more Wiki-like by allowing more than one person to edit the same Post, Page, or Custom Post Type at the same time. When there are conflicting edits, it helps users to view, compare, and merge changes before saving.

GitHub - wikitribune/fabrica-pending-revisions: WordPress plugin that enables updates to published content to be held in a draft state, or to be submitted for moderation and approval before they go live. It makes WP’s native Revisions more accountable by extending the system’s tracking of changes to taxonomy items and featured images, and improves the ‘Compare Revisions’ interface.

@dogwonder Thank you, I'll check this out!
-
@dogwonder Ah, okay, not feeling too optimistic about my own prospects.
-
@stefan there is also loads of export options now. Not sure if you wanted to turn a Wordpress site into a wiki or export one?
-
@dogwonder Yep, thinking about turning a WordPress site into a wiki.
-
@dogwonder I was thinking about exporting pages and posts from a WordPress site and importing into a wiki.
-
@stefan this might be worth a look
GitHub - 11ty/eleventy-import: Utility to import content from multiple services (and a CLI, too)

Export as MD files. Then see if that can be used as a wiki option.
-
@dogwonder Thank you, I think this might work pretty well!

@stefan Do you know about Fossil SCM?
-
@stefan Sorry, the link! https://fossil-scm.org/home/doc/trunk/www/index.wiki

@jandi Not until now. Thank you for sharing this, I'll check it out!

@jandi Nice!

@stefan Yes, that's how I rescued the No Time To Play website after being compromised. OddMuse worked great as a staging area while I got stuff out of the blog and later reorganized it in static sections. It continued to serve as a project wiki after the migration, hosting those articles that never found a place elsewhere. That was hard, but the site survives to this day.
(Can't show you because OddMuse died suddenly this spring after a server upgrade, and I shuttered it.)
-
@notimetoplay That's great! Which wiki platform did you choose? Any tips or tools you'd like to share?
-
@stefan Back then? OddMuse: https://oddmuse.org/ -- and apart from the huge amount of work, another thing to watch out for is that blogs have time-sensitive content, while wikis are more permanent, so there's a mismatch. Often it's not clear what goes where.
-
@notimetoplay Ahh, OddMuse is the wiki platform, got it. Thank you so much for sharing this!
