The specifics of Mediawiki is that you can have templates that
effectively extend the markup language, and this is widely used in
Wikipedia and its sister wikis. A quick experiment shows that Pandoc
silently drops most template inclusions. So if you take the source of
a wiki page, convert it to Org with pandoc, edit it in Org, then
convert back to mediawiki format and save, you will annoy moderators,
who will then be tempted to just revert your change without spending
time to pick out useful parts from overall formatting destruction.
