FAQ  MediaWiki to Jira Converter

Which Atlassian products support this table syntax?

The generated markup works with Jira Cloud, Jira Server/Data Center, and Confluence (both Cloud and Server/Data Center) as long as the classic wiki-style formatting is enabled for the editor or content area.

Why do my tables look different in the new Jira editor?

Jiras new rich-text editor sometimes wraps or converts classic wiki markup. If the table does not render as expected, try switching to the code or Markdown view (where available) or pasting into a Confluence page that still supports wiki tables.

Can I add formatting like bold or links inside cells?

Yes. After conversion, you can manually edit the Jira markup to add bold text, italics, or links using Jiras supported formatting syntax. The converter itself focuses on table structure rather than rich content formatting.

What happens if my MediaWiki table has very wide content?

Very long text or many columns may cause horizontal scrolling or wrapping inside Jira. Consider shortening labels, splitting tables, or using Confluence for more complex layouts.

Is any of my Jira or wiki data sent to a server?

No. The tool only processes the MediaWiki markup you paste into the page, and all work is done client-side in your browser. Nothing is uploaded or stored remotely.
