'''Automatic wikification''' is a feature that was implemented for a time in the old Wikipedia Phase II software. It is no longer available in the new [[wikipedia:Software Phase III|Phase III]] software, due to concerns raised by some users and developers, though there is some discussion about reintroducing it.

It is no longer available in the new [[wikipedia:Software Phase III|Phase III]] software, due to concerns raised by some users and developers, though there is some discussion about reintroducing it.

This is a description of how the feature worked under the old Phase II software:

Line 7 ⟶ 9:

Basically, what it does is to change HTML tags to wiki tags where possible, and to alter the article source in ways the wikipedia community (with the possible exception of 24;) seems to have more or less agreed upon. Hitting the button produces the altered article source and its preview. ''It does not alter the article in the database!'' You will have to hit Save to commit the change, as usual. That way, you can check the alterations, revert some, or hit the back button in case the article got messed up.

Currently, the fucntionfunction is as follows:

* <b>, <i>, <h2>, <h3> and <h4> tags are replaced with the matching wiki codes

* Some <nowiki>[[broken]</nowiki> links are fixed

Line 18 ⟶ 20:

All of this can be changed; it ''should'' be expanded. Please add functions to include ''within this feature'' below. The feature will go online with the next software update. --[[user:Magnus Manske|Magnus Manske]], Monday, April 8, 2002

called html2wikipedia. You can download the tool from
