MediaWiki is a wiki, not a database / content management system. You
probably want to write your own system.
Wikimedia foundation got a 'tree of life' project using Mediawiki:
http://species.wikipedia.org/wiki/
I personally find it is a bad way to handle the problem (create a
database of species). I prefer the tolweb project at http://tolweb.org/
