Is it possible to export or convert my TiddlyWiki wiki to another Wiki such as MediaWiki etc

[a.p....@gmail.com]

Is that possible to do in bulk or is my data stuck in TW?

Does whatever else you are using have a format you can convert to? All tiddlywiki data can be exported as plaintext, css or json so it is easy to convert with some simple scripts. Javascript, perl or python would work well for it.

TiddlyWIki is the one place it is not stuck, I can't guarantee that for all the other places. 

Why can I say this?

• The data is easily exported in a number of standard ways
• You totally control not only the data but the ways to manipulate it and export it.
• You have an active community that can support your needs
• You can save, duplicate and store how and when you desire.

• Of course advanced features like macros are not so easily transferred, but then they are bonus features.

However I think what you are actually asking is what Jed refers to and that is formatting.

• If you have a systematic and often repeating need to do so you can build or use a process to convert to and from WikiText.
  
• However if it is a one off transfer, obtain the details of  the different markups involved (eg; Bullet list, headings) for WikiText and WikiMedia and use a good editor such as NotePad++ to systematically find and replace one markup for another. 
  
• If you do go down this path I can give additional advice, such as use intermediate values eg convert \n! and \n!! to \n<hd1> \n<hd2> (where \n means new line) such that you can later change these to the destination format.  Without hitting other examples of "!"
  
• If you keep notes of the steps you took to achieve this and it can be generalised we can use this info to build a process in tiddlywiki or elsewhere.
  
• There will be case where a leading "!" means heading in wiki text, but in another the == heading ==  needs to be wrapped in for example ==, this may need other tricks to handle conversion, or manual intervention to add == to the end of each line beginning ==
• Once again its all about how much and how often as to which approach to follow.

There are I believe also existing solutions to translate WikiText into other markup/markdown language which you may use to convert WikiText into an intermediate format, the use an online conversion tool to change into MediaWiki wiki text. PanDoc https://pandoc.org/MANUAL.html

For example Print as PDF and Convert to WikiMedia, or Print as PDF use open/save in word then convert word to WikiMedia.
