Hi,

I would like to import wiki-pages into an org-file without loosing the
formation. So I'm loogking for a program that transforms the wiki-headings
and links into the orgmode-format.

Is there already a program to do this?

Each wiki has it's own markup - Emacswiki is different from Mediawiki is
different from Ikiwiki.

May be pandoc can help.

maybe try pandoc, it exports to org-mode from many different formats,
e.g. html

I meant mediawiki (of wikipedia). Pandoc doesn't accept mediawiki as an
input-format:
http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/README.html

I've tried it with html as input-fromat ("-f html -t org"):
he puts some stars before the headings - but the structure of the result
was wrong, also the links.

I am not surprised.

IIRC, I had problems other way with pandoc. Converting Org table to a
Mediawiki table - (I wanted to create some tables for some pages in
wikemacs.org)
