[Mediawiki-l] Import users and create their pages

[Joosep-Georg Järvemaa]

Hello,


I have an idea to replace an existing tailor-made but really simple user
database with MediaWiki. The cause being the app's hardly maintainable code
base.

Also, the users would gain the possibility to update their information and
create some content they could update together.


The structure of the user base has some fields for general information with a
relation to a table with some status changes and a second relation to pictures
table.

I would like to see that users' full names will be as their usernames and there
would be a possibility to generate a temporary password for them for sending by
e-mail.

The rest of the information would end up at their user pages as same structure
table or box and a second box for their status changes from related table.

The picture files I can upload to the server but at their pages there should be
some reference to related pictures, based on data from second table.

Additionally, some database fields are desirably considered as categories.


The database contains 820 users in total, 1785 status rows and 715 pictures.


Any recommendations?



Regards,
