 There is a repository of tools for converting MediaWiki to Git based Markdown wiki formats (such as ikiwiki and github wikis) at <http://github.com/mithro/media2iki>. It also includes a standalone tool for converting from the Mediawiki format to Markdown.

-[[Anarcat]] wrote a python script to convert from a mediawiki website to ikiwiki at <git://anarcat.ath.cx/software/mediawikigitdump.git/>.

The script can also incrementally import new changes from a running site, through RecentChanges inspection. It also supports mithro's new Mediawiki2markdown converter (which I have a copy here: <git://anarcat.ath.cx/software/media2iki.git/>).
