It would be pretty trivial to write a plugin for it that preserves ALL existing wiki content, with automatic templates that replicate all of the extant tags for backwards compatibility. Much more powerful editing, versioning, formatting, and user priv control would go a LONG way towards sensibly organizing games and reducing the need to micromanage and kludge together pages by GMs. I highly HIGHLY recommend using MediaWiki instead of the existing homebrew. Please. | |||

I should clarify, it will be trivial provided additional information about how wiki pages have been stored. It's very difficult to tell from the outside how things are managed on the back end. However, there are a host of tools for converting between markup languages, because it's fundamentally simple text manipulation. You take every instance of <b> Lorem Ipsum </b> and output '''Lorem Ipsum''' or what have you. Stuff that's very easy to do once you get your hands on text. There are only a handful of formatting calls on the extant wiki. The other major option to going ahead and just converting everything over would be to include an alternative parser that includes all of the rules of the extant wiki and flag every legacy page with it - sounds like more trouble than just running a conversion on each text file and loading them into a new wiki. No need to keep up two different markup-to-html parsers that way. | |||
