# Wiki (MoinMoin) Migration
Moin is our wiki, which hosts user-editable documentation.
We've been using it since [September 2004](https://wiki.wireshark.org/FrontPage?action=recall&rev=1).
## Status
Flag day: Unscheduled, likely some time in December.
## Details
MoinMoin has its own markup language that predates Markdown, which is what GitLab uses.
It looks like the most viable path would be to dump the wiki as HTML, then convert that to Markdown.

If we're concerned about preserving our history we might be able to migrate it to a git repository, then convert the markup: https://github.com/mgaitan/moin2git
We run MoinMoin 1.9, but 2.0 supports [exporting to MarkDown](https://github.com/moinwiki/moin/commit/5edfbc2a3e3a8720fad8b2158d67133c2e7b6393#diff-42217d84820d3bab44de675d13077ae9).
Perhaps we could upgrade a copy of our current wiki to Moin 2.0, and then export?
