Mediawiki code compatibility (lemmy.world)

There was an attempt to import an article from a MediaWiki based site to ibis.wiki however the codes do not show correctly.

Hopefully something is done in order to add Mediawiki code compatibility as part of the feature in future updates.

Ibis uses markdown, not wikitext because the former has better support in Rust. There are some tools for converting from wikitext to markdown for example this one. By the way ibis.wiki is specifically for articles related to open source projects, you can use open.ibis.wiki for other topics.

Thanks! Hopefully there's a way to incorporate the conversion tool to the federated encyclopedia's interfaces in the near future.
