The goal here is to study migrating the mediawiki content to github or similar.

Much content was created on autoplot.org, which is a mediawiki-based website. I know I have other places where I have converted mediawiki content to markdown, and I expect I'll do that to the entire site.

pandoc looks like its a useful tool. For example:

`pandoc -f mediawiki QFunction -t markdown_github -o QFunction.md`

converts the one file, but does a poor job with code blocks. I've written an Autoplot script to clean this up.

`pandoc -f html http://autoplot.org//QFunction -t markdown_github -o QFunction.md`

downloads the mediawiki page and writes directly to markdown. It looks like with a little massaging (removing head and tail) this would work nicely.

Bob mentioned at some point mediawiki will come down. I rarely use it, but I just found myself using it this morning, so I thought I should reload the changes to here. The script for downloading things is here https://github.com/autoplot/dev/tree/master/demos/2020/20201014/
