Ghostscript + QPDFHOW TO CONVERT MEDIAWIKI → OPML
Drop the MEDIAWIKI file
Upload your document — or a ZIP of several documents for batch conversion — through the web form.
Convert through pandoc
Our pandoc-based pipeline opens the MEDIAWIKI, preserves structure and typography, and writes the OPML.
Retrieve the document
Click the download button; the OPML is delivered as a single file (or ZIP of files for batch jobs).
Setup: MEDIAWIKI is a document format oriented around a particular office suite or publishing pipeline. Goal: an interchangeable OPML. A MEDIAWIKI → OPML conversion gives you the right artefact for the next step in the document life cycle. Maybe you are moving from drafting to distribution, or from a proprietary format into an open one, or simply answering a colleague who asked for OPML. KaijuConverter delivers a faithful re-render without any desktop software install. Technical note: MEDIAWIKI is a document format oriented around a particular office suite or publishing pipeline. Compare that with OPML is a document format oriented around a particular office suite or publishing pipeline.
Why convert MEDIAWIKI to OPML
Opening MEDIAWIKI in the tool that natively reads OPML is rarely clean. Converting upstream rebuilds the document in the target format so headings become headings, lists stay lists, and the receiving tool does not flag layout warnings.

MEDIAWIKI vs OPML — Strengths and limitations
What each format does best, and where it falls short.
MEDIAWIKI Strengths
- Powers Wikipedia — battle-tested at planet scale.
- Templates enable reusable content blocks.
- Internal links, categories, and interwiki references work out of the box.
- Huge existing tooling and translation ecosystem.
Limitations
- Parsing is notoriously hard — context-sensitive by design.
- Authoring requires learning the unique syntax.
- Lacks standardization — no formal spec, just the MediaWiki implementation.
OPML Strengths
- Standard RSS subscription interchange format.
- Simple XML — easy to parse and generate.
- Highly extensible via arbitrary attributes.
- Supported by every major outline and RSS tool.
Limitations
- XML verbosity — larger than a JSON-based equivalent.
- Specification is loose — different tools disagree on edge cases.
- Primary use (RSS reading) has shrunk dramatically since Google Reader.
Quality & Compatibility
Headings, paragraphs, lists, tables, hyperlinks and inline images all survive the conversion with their semantic structure intact. Rare features unique to MEDIAWIKI — legacy macros, form fields, obscure frame styles — are flattened to static content where no direct OPML equivalent exists. Tracked changes, where both formats support them, transfer cleanly.
Tips for Best Results
- Round-tripping between MEDIAWIKI and OPML (converting back and forth) can accumulate small formatting drift — do one conversion and stay in that format.
- If the MEDIAWIKI has tracked changes, accept or reject them before converting to avoid surprises in the OPML output.
- Very long documents split cleanly at existing section breaks; add section breaks deliberately if you need precise page boundaries.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, as long as the fonts are standard (system fonts or common office fonts like Arial, Calibri, Times, Helvetica). Custom corporate fonts survive if they are embedded in the source document; otherwise the conversion substitutes the closest available match, which can shift line breaks by a character or two.
Yes. Inline images are embedded into the OPML at full resolution, editable tables become native OPML tables, and hyperlinks keep their URLs. Complex features unique to MEDIAWIKI — macros, form fields, track-changes — are mapped where an equivalent exists in OPML and flattened into static content otherwise.
All uploads go over TLS, files are processed in isolated containers and both the source and the output are deleted within two hours. No account is required, file contents are never indexed or used for training, and the paid plan adds a signable data-processing agreement for regulated workflows.
MediaWiki Markup
Source formatMediaWiki markup is the wikitext syntax used by Wikipedia and thousands of MediaWiki-powered wikis. It provides formatting for links, tables, templates, categories, and references, powering one of the largest collaborative content systems.
OPML Outline
Target formatOPML (Outline Processor Markup Language) is an XML format for structured outlines and lists. It is most widely used for exchanging RSS feed subscription lists between podcast apps and feed readers, and for hierarchical note-taking.

Common Use Cases
Share across platforms
Send OPML files to anyone without worrying about whether they have the right software for MEDIAWIKI.
