It is very possible with Semantic MediaWiki, a family of extensions that does just that! Then you can even store your data as a csv, and fetch it from there.

Is it possible to create datasets within the MediaWiki software so that multiple pages can have unique tables displaying data from a single source? I am helping maintain a wiki and one problem we are currently having is we need to display the same data on multiple pages with slightly different ordering of columns, omission of columns, etc. Our current method is to just manually edit multiple tables whenever we need to add or remove data, which is extremely inefficient to say the least.

If this is not currently possible, would there be a way I can formally suggest the implementation of json/xml/whatever datasets to be used in this manner?
