UseMod

PHPWiki

Other wiki software

If there are a small number of pages, Wikians and Wikia staff may be able to help with manual conversions from other forms of wiki syntax. If you know of any other automated converters, please list them on this page. See also OpenWetWare's guide to converting documents to mediawiki markup and Wikipedia's conversion utilities.

Static websites
