Import Vimwiki pages into Obsidian

Background

Keep your source pages until you've checked the converted notes. Vimwiki Import leaves those pages unchanged and reports syntax that needs review.

2 ways to do it

Convert a few pages by hand
For a few pages, copy their text into Markdown notes and replace source headings, tasks and code delimiters with Markdown syntax. Obsidian supports internal wikilinks, fenced code and unchecked or completed task lists. Check link targets against the note paths you choose.
limits
You handle conversion and link checking yourself. This route doesn't produce the plugin's source map or import report.

Obsidian Markdown extensions
Vimwiki Import from this site
Place default .wiki pages in a vault folder and preview their conversion into a new destination. The free importer maps local links between selected pages and writes a report. Pro can map ISO diary names into a daily-note folder and combine saved unresolved-link warnings.
limits
Markdown and media modes aren't supported, and attachments aren't copied. Tables, anchors, directives and rich text can need manual edits.

Preview and import default Vimwiki pages

Back up your vault and place your source pages inside it.
Run Vimwiki Import's Preview import command.
Enter separate source and new destination paths, then select These files use default syntax.
Select Preview and compare the converted text, mapped paths and warnings with your sources.
Select Import and open the destination report.
Compare a few converted notes with their sources before removing or moving source pages yourself.

Common questions

Why does a link still point to its old target?

The converter maps local targets only through the selected source pages. A missing target stays unchanged with a warning. Links to pages skipped during import can also need review.

Can I stop after checking the preview?

Select Cancel to close the preview without importing. Once you've selected Import, closing the dialog doesn't cancel writes that started.

Can the combined report confirm my later link fixes?

The Pro report reads saved import results rather than scanning your imported notes. Later edits aren't checked, and another import of the same source folder replaces its saved result.
