I've been kinda thinking of doing the same thing.
I've (relatively) recently got my site online, but it's old and written in FrontPage. I want to have it make the navbars automatically, as well as header/footer/etc. I was thinking of using just HTML fragments and PHP. Using the MediaWiki parser would be awesome, too.
For me, it would be a lot easier to use MediaWiki than writting my own stuff. Of course, If I use MediaWiki, I'll probably do that anyway.
Has anyone managed to 'lift' the parser so that it just takes in some WikiTax and spits out an HTML fragment? w/ an interwiki table, of course. (Now I know why the structure is so complex. The actual querying code is buried so deep that the highlevel code won't care if you redirect it to a directory setup.)

Hi Manny, ... Basically I want to use MediaWiki as a Content Management System. I'm aware it's not strictly built for that because there is no access control management, but I'd be the sole user anyway. My only point in using MediaWiki is to stop writing HTML by hand (too cumbersome) and have the MediaWiki-markup and all its features I've grown to like at my disposal. ... Thanks and regards, Jens Ropers
