On my wiki (about football) i have thousends of matches, like that:
looks like a serious headache to keep it all on a wiki rather than generate this from a database. the plus side of a database application will be the ability to do all sorts of fun statistics too.
On a related point, does anyone have an example or reference for a template in which one or more fields may or may not require repetition when called? What I mean is, for example, if you wanted to describe the colour of each car in the queue at the traffic lights outside your house each morning at 08:00. Each day you would create a new page using the template. However, every day, the number of cars would vary between 0 and n. Is there a way of building this sort of variable in to a template so that it can be called with a different number of colours (in this example) for each car in the queue?
Before anyone gets worried, I'm not creating a car counting Wiki. It's just an example. -- rik
