Convert an old wiki to new wiki is missing sometimes

What is the requirement for the “Convert to new wiki” function to be available in the menu of an older wiki? I wrote a wiki myself, and it has this menu item. There are two other wikis in the organization I manage. Although I have read and write access, this menu item is missing there. Even after assigning myself as the owner to the underlying libraries, it’s still missing.

The conversion of an old-version wiki can only be performed by its original creator — this is irrelevant to library ownership.

Currently, you can work around this by modifying the database to set yourself as the creator of the old wiki library. Here’s how:

  1. Access the Seafile Seahub database.
  2. Locate the wiki_wiki table.
  3. Update the username field in the corresponding entry to your own username.

This will enable the “Convert to new wiki” option for that library.
