There are various programs that can convert to and from MediaWiki format, as used in this Wiki, and other formats. This page lists some of them and provides explanation of how to use them.

Pandoc

Pandoc is an open source tool that can convert between different markup styles and languages.

There is a web version of Pandoc but that seems limited to small documents only. There's also a CLI version, and if you are running a Linux desktop machine chances are you can install it from the repository. E.g. on Ubuntu 14.04:

sudo apt-get install pandoc

The following example translates from MediaWiki format to Markdown format:

<source lang=bash> pandoc -f mediawiki -t markdown -s myfile.mw -o myfile.md </source>
