This page list all the MediaWiki syntax described at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Markup_spec and the correspondent TikiWiki syntax (if any).
In the column "Suported by the importer" possible values are:
- yes (already working)
- partially supported (supported with some limitations that are explained in the comments)
- tricky (not implemented yet but the goal is to support before the end of the project)
- not supported (there are no plans to support this syntax during this project).
WikiMatrix also has a interesting comparative table in the bottom of this page.
