Receive links from migration team

After your content is imported, you will receive an email with links and instructions. Please keep the following things in mind:

• Some content might be missed in the process.
• MediaWiki does not organize content in the same way as Confluence.
• Most links will not work and will need to be edited in the final migration
• Complex content like tables and macros could be mangled or missing
• OIT will not be able to help edit or arrange your content
