[Mediawiki-l] Best way to IF(category) THEN (display something)

[Jeremy Baron]

I don't think this is possible with a vanilla install; someone else  
on the list can probably say with more certainty.

Either way, sounds like Semantic MediaWiki might be a good fit for  
you. (and it can do what you're asking for)  Take a look at http:// 
semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Inline_queries
