+Hello. Got ikiwiki running and I'm planning to convert my personal
+Mediawiki wiki to ikiwiki so I can take offline copies around. If anyone
+has an old copy of the instructions, or any advice on where to start I'd be
+glad to hear it. Otherwise I'm just going to chronicle my journey on the
+page.--[[users/Chadius]]

+> Since wikipedia uses mediawiki, perhaps his importer will work
+> on mediawiki in general. It seems to produce output that could be
+> used by the [[plugins/contrib/mediawiki]] plugin, if the filenames
+> were fixed to use the right extension.  --[[Joey]]
