Apparently some way to fetch data from a PmWiki exists, investigate: https://www.ohloh.net/p/pm2media

@gremilkar, are you still interested in exporting tvtropes? @walkingice, @pmwiki, @MichaelPaulukonis, @gambhiro, @fernao, does any of you have ideas how one could proceed to archive/dump a pmwiki's data from the web?

MichaelPaulukonis commented 10 years ago

I can't find a canonical reference, but previously I found that TvTropes no longer uses PmWiki as their engine; it's just left in the URL like a vermiform appendix.

I'm making experiences dumping pmwiki to markdown, as my goal is to migrate it to http://ikiwiki.info/. Ikiwiki parses html directly from mdwn files.

There's a pmwiki module (that uses < php 5.4) that can be used to export it in that format. I've wrote a very simple script to extract all data of a wiki that exports to markdown, getting then with wget: https://github.com/fernao/pmwiki2mdwn.

...though for that specific wiki we now enjoy regular server-side dumps of the fork. https://static.orain.org/common/dumps/allthetropes/
