pandoc is installed. Amongst other things, it can be used to convert from HTML (e.g., old, handwitten web pages) to MediaWiki wikitext by doing something like this:

$ pandoc -f html -t mediawiki -o newpage.wiki oldpage.html

The result of the conversion can then be pasted in to a TechDocs wiki page.
