Confluence migration: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 09:59, 27 February 2026

Hallo Welt! has created a migration tool that can be used to import Confluence spaces into a MediaWiki or BlueSpice installation. This is a command line tool and you need access to your MediaWiki or BlueSpice server environment.

Migration tool

The migration tool can be found on GitHub and is documented there.

Extensions

The output generated by the tool contains certain elements that require additional extensions to activate. These extensions are already included in a BlueSpice Pro installation:

Macro check

On the BlueSpice website, you can use a macro check to see which Confluence macros are not automatically converted. If an important macro is marked as unsupported, the content can most likely still be transferred.

Not migrated

The following Confluence elements are excluded from the migration:

User identities
Comments
Various macros
Various layouts
Blog posts
Files in an area that cannot be assigned to a page

Roadmap

March '26: Provide Docker Container (ERM46685) - Eases installation and allows for better automation
March/April '26: Allow for parallel processing (ERM45405) - Speeds up conversion of large Confluence exports
March/April '26: Migrate blogs posts to mw:Extension:SimpleBlogPage pages (ERM46628) - Additional content
March/April '26: Migrate page comments to mw:Extension:CommentStreams threads (ERM46627) - Additional content
April '26: Add support for historic page and file revisions (ERM35013) - Additional content
