Has anyone successfully migrated a WordPress site to a wiki?
-
@stefan this is way out of date but the concept was collaborative editing and pinned revisions

@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

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!
