Convert from Microsoft Word to Media Wiki Markup Style

Question

How do I export a word document to media wiki markup style

I have been trying to do it by following the steps given in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:WordToWiki but all in vain, not getting it.

Any help please.

Answer 1

Best way is to use Open Office

1. Open the Word document in Open Office Writer.
2. Go to File / Export.
3. Under File format choose MediaWiki (.txt).
4. Click Save (or Export).
5. Open the new file in a text editor and copy the contents to the clipboard.
6. Paste the text to a Wikipedia article.

That is copy and pasted from the document you linked to.

For Open Office 4.15 you have to add the extension Sun Wiki Publisher 1.1 with the extension manager.

If you don't want to install OpenOffice, another option is the Word2MediaWikiPlus extension.
