I have a large number of hierarchical product types that I'd like to automatically feed into our wiki as hierarchical categories (category tree). How would I do this? Can I have the product types generated as an XML file and populate a table in MediaWiki? My first thought is to write an extension to handle this, as one doesn't jump out at me as already existing.
Thanks Bill
You could write a simple (Java?) program to parse the product types, and then use the MediaWiki API to create the category pages.
