Installation in OpenOffice.org 2.0
To install the export filter:
- Download od2MediaWiki.zip and unzip the file OD2MediaWiki.xslt
- Start OpenOffice.org 2.0.
- From Tool choose XML Filter Settings.
- choose New and in General fill the form with the following data:
- Filter name: MediaWiki
- Application: OpenOffice.org Writer (.odt)
- Name of file type: MediaWiki
- File extention: txt
- Choose Transformation and fill the form with the following data:

Convert Files
To export choose File -> Export and select MediaWiki(.txt) as file format.
Now you can paste the content of the file in the edit form of MediaWiki.
Known Issues
- The conversion time increases exponentially with the size of the document (because of the use of
ancestor,child,silbing,...):
| Size | Time | Speed |
|---|---|---|
| 4 pages | 5sec | 48pages/min |
| 10 pages | 20sec | 30pages/min |
| 20 pages | 1min | 20pages/min |
| 39 pages | 4min | 10pages/min |
| 78 pages | 18min | 4,3pages/min |
so maybe it's better to split big files before conversion.

Alternative
There is a faster alternative by Bernhard Haumacher (haui). It takes 15 seconds to transform 40 pages. It's simpler, the result is near the same but works worst with bold and italics and maybe works different with lists, tables, images:
