Transclusion is what you're after I believe.
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Transclusion
Basically, you have an articles named Cat that you want displayed on the front page, so you would literally add the following to your front page: {{:Cat}} - be warned that doing so will include the ENTIRE article. There may be a way to show only a part of the article, but I don't know how to do that.
Hope this helps.

Hi, Everybody,
I apologize if this is a noob question; I actually consider myself pretty good at digging this type of thing up but after hours upon hours of googling I'm still unable to come up with an answer to what I would think would be a seemingly simple question to answer. Basically I am building a personal website and I would like to use media wiki to store some documentation that I am generating. I have a little menu bar at the top of my page; its pretty simple, just HTML & CSS with tables generated by PHP. If you really want to see it you can just go here http://128.135.217.176. Nothing fancy. Anyway, what I would like to be able to do would be to 'in-line' an article into this page, but without having to use frames or anything like that. The 'body' section of my page is basically just a cell of a table. So the actual 'in-line' PHP code would have to be between a couple of <td> tags.
Anyway, it seems pretty easy to do this using for example, wordpress, using the integration features described here. http://codex.wordpress.org/Integrating_WordPress_with_Your_Website. Is there a way to do anything like this with a mediawiki article?
I apologize if this is such a silly question.
Thanks,
Dan
