  2. Set in dialog:

    What to export: Whole wiki
    Export to: Multipage text
    Compatible filenames: (Doesn't matter)
    Format version: 1
    Write wiki func. page: Check
    Write saved searches: Check
    Destination file: (Choose a non existing filename in an existing directory)
  3. Hit OK
  4. Create a new wiki with same name and the desired new database type
  5. Delete "WikiSettings" page in the new wiki
  6. Open dialog from menu "Wiki" -> "Import..."
  7. Set in dialog:

    Import format: Multipage text
    Source file: (Same path you gave as destination file above)
  8. Hit OK
  9. Use menu "Wiki" -> "Maintenance" -> "Update cache" or wait until it is done
    automatically in background.

Now you can close the new wiki, delete or move away the old one and move the new one at its place.
