I hate replying to my own e-mail. However, after some discussion with more savvy MediaWiki type on IRC, its been discovered that MediaWiki does not like POST requests via forms, at least for SpecialPages. When I hit submit on my form using code from http://stevefink.net/mediawiki/ldaptools_body.php, a blank page comes up.
If anyone has any idea if there is a workaround, or if it's not possible so I can exhaust my efforts, that would be great.
Thanks much,

Hi Rob,
I've tried your method and it's the same as omitting an action all together, which posts to PHP_SELF. The form ends up redirecting to a bad title page:
Bad title From MedLime Jump to: navigation, search
The requested page title was invalid, empty, or an incorrectly linked inter-language or inter-wiki title. It may contain one or more characters which cannot be used in titles.
Return to Main Page.

Variables won't be interpolated inside single quotes. Use something like:
global $wgTitle; $action = $wgTitle->escapeLocalUrl(); $wgOut->addHtml( "<form method="post" action="{$action}">" );
[The use of $wgTitle, or another constructed Title object representing the special page, is the standard method of obtaining a canonical URL in MediaWiki.]
