There appear to be no commonly-available filters to move pages in bulk from Confluence to MediaWiki, preserving links and formatting. The general problem is that anyone who moves a wiki from one engine to another does the job precisely once, so there's no-one who really maintains a good converter script, and the knowledge doesn't accumulate (as it does in an ongoing open-source project). That said, there are people who do want to move from Confluence to MediaWiki and end up doing it by a quick hack without the knowledge accumulating. So if you do go for an automated method and come up with a script, please do put the details and script up on http://mediawiki.org , and others with the same problem in the future will be grateful. - d.
