Hmm, I understand Uncyclopedia already has this implemented and working.

Yes, and Uncyclopedia gets an insignificantly small fraction of the traffic Wikimedia gets.
Once rendered, each page is cached and not re-rendered until it is edited, a template it transcludes changes, or it is purged. This feature would require the page to be re-rendered for each unique user that viewed it.
If you just want this on your personal wiki, just use Uncyclopedia's implementation.
If you want it on Wikimedia wikis, either rewrite MediaWiki from scratch so it can somehow handle re-rendering the page every time it is viewed without any performance hit, or donate eleventy billion dollars' worth of hardware to the Foundation.
