Yes, we have a longstanding mediawiki installation: [Making sure you're not a bot!](https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/Noisebridge)  
our Discourse forum: [Discuss](https://discuss.noisebridge.info)  
And this [hosted version](https://pandoc.org/try/) of Pandoc [we’ve encouraged users to use](https://discuss.noisebridge.info/t/pandoc-helps-create-wiki-pages-faster-or-translate-anything-to-mediawiki-format-noisebridge-net/1643) for quickly turning Markdown into the more esoteric mediawiki markup.

I’m hoping there is a way to turn this into a more automated workflow, as we want mediawiki pages from non-technical types who have enough trouble just registering an account.

Obviously we could do this within Discourse, but our mediawiki has been online since ~2007 and has a longstanding following, so no one wants to mess with it. But, it is a bit difficult / long in the tooth for drafting documentation in 2020. 🙂

I’m not fully sure on next steps. But, this would be a big help to our pool of volunteers! So far I’ve discovered this [restful api version](https://github.com/alphakevin/pandoc-api) of Pandoc, or the hosted demo linked above.
