The MediaWiki Transport is designed to interface with the various MediaWiki API's in order to enable importing of wiki content from sites such as WikiPedia. Simply drag and drop a url form a Wikipedia page to begin.
Note: this transporter is currently undergoing active refactoring. Expect changes, enhancements and improvements. We aim but cannot guarantee to achieve this without breaking current behaviour and expectations.
