XWiki will replace Confluence Wiki at the University in early 2024. From 9 AM on 8 January 2024, the address https://wiki.helsinki.fi will direct you to XWiki instead of the old Wiki service. Concurrently, the old Wiki service will switch to read-only mode, and you can no longer create new content there.
Mass migration of Wiki content to XWiki will begin on 15 January 2024. We will release detailed information on the migration soon. You can still browse your old Wiki content at https://wiki-emerita.it.helsinki.fi/ after 8 January 2024. The old Wiki service will be permanently discontinued on 15 February 2024.
What do I need to do?
- Create your new Wiki content on XWiki from 8 January 2024, 9 AM onward at: https://wiki.helsinki.fi. Instructions for XWiki are available on the IT Helpdesk instructions site (English translations coming soon).
- You can continue to mark your current Wiki content for migration to the new XWiki until 31 January 2024, regardless of the expiry of the marking deadline. After this, it will no longer be possible to mark content for migration.
- You can also transfer your current Wiki content (content intended for internal use at the University/cooperation between higher education institutions) to the Flamma Workgroups service (workgroups.helsinki.fi).
- See our previous bulletin for instructions on marking Wiki content for migration to XWiki, transferring Wiki content to Flamma Workgroups, and selecting a suitable platform for your content.
- NB: Personal Wiki pages will not be migrated to XWiki in the mass migration! You can transfer personal pages to the Flamma Workgroups service yourself, if needed.
