VaultWiki Importer

Some sites may already have a wiki with another product that they wish to import into VaultWiki. If VaultWiki doesn't have an automated importer for your particular product, you can copy and paste your existing articles in VaultWiki.

Note:

If you have to perform a copy and paste import, you should help other future migrations by requesting an import script in the VaultWiki Requests area on the web site: http://www.vaultwiki.org/support/

If you plan to transfer NuWiki data into VaultWiki, this is best done on a fresh install of VaultWiki. Perform the following steps.

2. Set your Template namespace to the forum where NuWiki's templates are saved.
   
3. Set your Header namespace to the forum where NuWiki's forum headers are saved.
   
4. Except for NuWiki islands and the forums mentioned above, move your other NuWiki forums such that they are children of the Default namespace.
