[Mediawiki-l] Display a page's last-changed data from *another* page?

[Rob Church]

You could write some sort of custom list extension with a parser hook.
Either make pages with the tag in uncacheable or make sure that the
pagelinks tables are updated and the cache for the referring page is
invalidated whenever one of the linked pages is altered.
