Sorry if this is not the correct way / place to post. Hopefully my weekends spent figuring this out can save someone out there a bit of pain. There's most likely an easier way to do this and it could be automated with PowerAutomate, but want to get this out sooner than later.
Let's cut to the point, there currently is not a UI way within MS Teams to copy Wiki content from anywhere to anywhere. This looks to be on the MS backlog for a while now, but there is a surprisingly simple answer.
What you will need:
MS Teams with a Wiki you want to move.
SharePoint Designer (usually 2013 sp1)
Time
Step 1.
Open your team and head to the SharePoint site connected to the team
Step 2.
Copy the URL and open the connected site in SharePoint Designer
Step 3.
Open "All Files" and select "Lists"
Step 4.
Select the list containing "_wiki" at the end and click the "Preview in Browser"
Step 5.
Create a custom view of the Wiki list with all Wiki columns included
Step 6.
Do steps 1-5 on the target location you are looking to move the Wiki content to
Step 7.
Edit both locations in grid view. Copy all of the Page & Section titled content you want to copy. (My screen shot doesn't include wikiUser, but this should be copied also)
Step 8.
"Add new item" in the target list, then paste the data.
Step 9. - KEY STEP
You need to align the data. Please refer to screenshot below.
The SharePoint ID that is assigned is used to match up the pages and sections.
wikiPageId = SharePoint ID for Page
wikiOrder = SharePoint ID for Sections you want the pages to fall under
wikiCanvisId = The wiki number in order of wikis created
There will also be wikiOrder for the main wiki order at the top of the list. You don't need to modify this since Teams will take care of the rest.
Step 10.
Refresh the wiki in Teams and review. If it's not displaying, run through the steps again and make sure no one is trying to update the wiki while you are copying.
Hope this helps!
