How to Embed MediaWiki in WordPress

MediaWiki and WordPress are two separate content management systems used to post information and writing on the Internet. While the two systems are separate in function, you can install a plug-in that will allow you to embed information from a MediaWiki page into a page or post of a WordPress blog. The plug-in automatically refreshes the content in case someone edits and changes the information on the wiki page.

Instructions

Install Wiki Embed

1. Click "Plugins" from the left menu in your WordPress Dashboard, then click "Add New."

2. Type "wiki embed" in the search box, then press the "Enter" key.

3. Click the "Install Now" link under "Wiki Embed," then click "OK" to confirm.

4. Click the "Activate Plugin" link.

Embed Wiki Page

1. Click "Posts" or "Pages" from the menu on the left of your Dashboard. Create a new post or page, or edit an existing post or page.

2. Click the "Wiki Embed" button next to the "Upload/Insert" options above the text editor box. This button looks like a pair of brackets.

3. Type the URL address for the MediaWiki page you would like to embed in the "Wiki URL" box.

4. Click the "Insert into Page/Post" button.

5. Click the "Publish" button to publish your post or page.
