MediaWiki export in Etherpad

Use the normal editbar buttons to add MediaWiki style markdown. Export as MediaWiki.

To enable MediaWiki view click Settings -> MediaWiki

Setting as default

Paste the below into your settings.

"ep_MediaWiki_default": true,

Optional: hide unsupported toolbar buttons

By default, ep_mediawiki leaves extra toolbar plugins alone so site admins can decide which controls they want to support. If you want MediaWiki mode to hide unsupported toolbar buttons, enable this in your Etherpad settings:

{
  "ep_mediawiki": {
    "hideUnsupportedToolbarButtons": true,
    "unsupportedToolbarSelectors": [
      ".ep_checklists"
    ]
  }
}

When hideUnsupportedToolbarButtons is enabled, ep_mediawiki automatically hides the alignment buttons from ep_align while MediaWiki mode is on. Add any extra selectors your checklist plugin uses to unsupportedToolbarSelectors.

todo

Installation

Install from the Etherpad admin UI (Admin → Manage Plugins, search for ep_mediawiki and click Install), or from the Etherpad root directory:

pnpm run plugins install ep_mediawiki

⚠️ Don't run npm i / npm install yourself from the Etherpad source tree — Etherpad tracks installed plugins through its own plugin-manager, and hand-editing package.json can leave the server unable to start.

After installing, restart Etherpad.
