Copying and Pasting from old to new
- Goto an existing old MinGWiki [5] page
- execute the login function
- click the edit button
- click the mouse into the edit box
- press the Ctrl-A keyboard action to select all text in the input form
- Now Create content [6] and choose New MinGWiki [7].
- If not already provided, enter the title from the old MinGWiki page
- Enter an appropriate tag (a.k.a. category or term) for the page
- In the "Body" of the form now entry Ctrl-V to paste the previous body.
- You may now "Save" the document at the bottom of the form but you are far from done.
Converting from old to new format
- Find all %%% markup and remove them. If you need line breaks enter <br/> instead.
- Titles in the old format used ! or !! or !!! for small, medium, and large. The new format uses a =, ==, ===, ====, ===== and ====== to represent decreasing levels of header. I suggest using ===== for !, === for !! and == for !!! but in the end use what looks best to you.
- Link references are nearly reverse order between phpwiki and MediaWiki. It is best to use the MediaWiki help reference [8] to guide you in doing the conversion. Don't forget about the using the defined interwiki link shortcuts as defined in the MinGWiki pages [9] documentation.
