FF7 Flat Wiki Migration Tool

Rationale

TLDR; The existing FF Inside Wiki is a vast and amazing treasure trove of information, however, there are questions about resiliency, editability and longevity. In the interest of retaining the knowledge in this area, we should propose at least an independent backup. This repo contains the migration tool, the migrated data will be loaded persisted in ff7-flat-wiki
