I wish to import a bunch of documents (100's) into a wiki on our company intranet (mediawiki). Lots have embedded images as well. I am wondering if there is a way to import them (images included)?
Can't seem to find an offline mediawiki editor, I would be willing to pay for this functionality.

There is as far as I'm aware no standard software to do this.
You can try to export the word documents to HTML and if $wgRawHtml = true you can import them directly into MediaWiki.
Are you sure you want to do this? I'm asking because you can end up with a lot of junk (expired information) in your wiki if you do that.
To do it manually you can use the FCK Editor but you will still need to upload the images separately. It will takes ages but at least you can review as you go and only upload the really important stuff.
I know of someone who did what you said using a bot with the mwclient functionality - but I don't know more than that.
Another suggestion - if you decide to keep the old info in Word (as I suggested), I think you should allow wiki users to link to the documents. If they are in a decent content management system, they will all have a unique URL. You could easily create a template, containing the basic URL, with the specific document identification as a parameter.
That way, the up to date information is on the wiki and the old information is only one click away.
