IF the raw data/database contents are available, it's possible using some web
agent code I use to interface with Wiki systems. NOT SAYING I COULD DO IT. But
there might be a way to generate a huge set of web update screen interactions to
convert it all over.
I do this with BrickLInk, I RARELY ever use the web site myself, I have some
agents written that mark a batch of shipments as shipped/send various emails,
heck even check if parcels have arrived. All driven by the web site
contents/screens, just like a interactive user.

Yes, the data all still exists. The biggest problem with the site, actually is
the "health" of the database. It's ugly beyond words. A big part of what needs
to happen for the future of the site is the rebuilding of the database in a
format that a DBA wouldn't laugh and point at.
But perhaps you're talking about creating something to simply import into a
wiki? If so, I'd have to wonder what amount of time it would take to recreate by
hand vs. creating a script that would work. In theory a script would work best,
but you just never know in practice.
