I'm wondering if it's possible for an admin to create a PHP page that is executed in MediaWiki 1.6.7. I have an outside (on the same server) database (alumni) that I'd like to create a page from ... like a list of alumni on a wiki that I administer.
Thank you!

That sounds like a job for a custom special page...

Hmmmmm ... probably right. Is there a help page or a tutorial that might help me get started?

There's http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Writing_a_new_special_page. It contains some pointers, but quite a lot of the details are now incorrect, so I'd advise looking at example code through extensions in Subversion; http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/trunk/extensions.

Thanks. I'm already reading the "new special page" page, but I'll also look at the other idea you sent.
