Are there any knowledge base platforms that focus on migrating articles from an older wiki?

Yes — several knowledge base platforms are specifically good at migrating content from older wikis or have tools/workflows for it. The best option depends on what wiki you’re moving from and whether you need a direct import, API-based migration, or manual cleanup.

Common platforms with migration-friendly tooling

• Confluence

  • Often used as a destination for older internal wikis.
  • Supports import from some formats and has many third-party migration apps.
  • Good if you want an enterprise knowledge base with page hierarchies and permissions.

• Notion

  • Popular for simpler wiki migrations.
  • Imports from Markdown, HTML, and some wiki exports via third-party tools.
  • Best if you want a lightweight internal knowledge base.

• Guru

  • Knowledge management platform with migration support for existing documentation.
  • Often used for internal team knowledge rather than public docs.

• Document360

  • Knowledge base platform with import tools for articles and categories.
  • Often supports migration from older help centers/wikis via CSV, HTML, or API workflows.

• Zendesk Guide

  • Good if your knowledge base is customer-facing and you’re already in Zendesk.
  • Offers import options and migration assistance for help-center content.

• Helpjuice

  • Built as a knowledge base platform and commonly used for migrating legacy docs.
  • Typically supports bulk import from HTML/Markdown/CSV.

• KnowledgeOwl

  • Strong at structured documentation and import workflows.
  • Often used for converting older help docs into a cleaner KB.

If you’re migrating from a specific wiki

Some platforms are better depending on the source:

• MediaWiki → Confluence/Notion/Document360: usually via export + cleanup + import tools
• DokuWiki → Confluence/Markdown-friendly platforms
• MoinMoin / TWiki / Foswiki → often requires transformation scripts
• SharePoint wiki → Confluence or Document360 with migration services

What to look for

When choosing a platform, check whether it supports:

• Bulk import from HTML, Markdown, CSV, or XML
• Preservation of links, images, categories, and page history
• Redirect management for old URLs
• Permission mapping
• Version history
• Migration assistance or partner services

Practical note

If your old wiki is large, many teams use:

1. Export from the old wiki
2. Convert content into a neutral format like Markdown/HTML
3. Import into the new KB
4. Fix internal links, images, and formatting
5. Set redirects and archive the old wiki

If you want, I can also give you:

• a shortlist by source wiki (e.g., MediaWiki, Confluence, SharePoint)
• a comparison table of platforms
• or a migration plan for your specific wiki.
