[Mediawiki-l] Making it easier to add

[John Spikowski]

I can see the url method as a quick way under program control to generate
the title pages one would need to move an existing project. Is there a way
to add content under program control to pages other then a remote ODBC
interface into mySQL?

I think you do.. maybe I should replace the search box with a simple
GET form that just does that...

and maybe (checkbox) adds a link off the bottom of the current page so
the page is not orphaned (don't know how i would do this...)

However, this URL doesn't launch an edit box, it goes to a:
(There is currently no text in this page)
html page and the user still has to click the "edit page" link.

Is there a clever way with templates or wiki special links to do some
of the above?
