If I read the above and understand it right, then the correct thing to
do in this situation is to locate or introduce a suitable hook
function into the "save" step of the edit handler, so that when a page
is updated, the corresponding entries in a custom table are also
saved.

For further information on hooks, take a look at docs/hooks.txt (it's
in the default MediaWiki distribution packages and will be present in
SVN checkouts, too).
