I am attempting to use Pandoc to convert a document prepared using docbook 
XML to Wikimedia markup.
Unfortunately, that converts the orderedlists to HTML rather than the list 
markup described
in "[[Help:WikText]]" abd "[[Help:List]]"
 

pandoc -f docbook -t mediawiki -o Wfirst.out Wfirst.xml
 
Here is my test input to pandoc
<pre>


<section id="first"><title id="first.title">First Demo, Lecture, and 
Lab</title>

<orderedlist>
<listitem><para>Start up Visual Basic.
One does this by:
</para><para>
Click <emphasis role="bold">Start</emphasis>,
<emphasis role="bold">AllPrograms</emphasis>, <emphasis 
role="bold">Microsoft Visual Studio 2013</emphasis>,
<emphasis role="bold">MicrosoftVisual Studio 2013</emphasis>
It has a icon with two purpole iscosceles triangles, connected by a single
vertex.
</para>
</listitem>
</orderedlist>
</section>
</pre>
Here is what it generates.  Observe that the lists are now in HTML
<PRE>


= First Demo, Lecture, and Lab =

<ol style="list-style-type: decimal;">
<li><p>Start up Visual Basic. One does this by:</p>
<p>Click '''Start''', '''AllPrograms''', '''Microsoft Visual Studio 
2013''', '''MicrosoftVisual Studio 2013''' It has a icon with two purpole 
iscosceles triangles, connected by a single vertex.</p></li></ol>
</PRE>

This will happen when the list has features that can't
be represented with the simple MediaWiki ordered list markup.
Probably the issue here is that your list has multiple
paragraphs within a single list item.
