My suggestion is that you create REDIRECT pages for the names of all those
customers.
You can then mark them all with a Category:Name_of_Customer which you
can add as a sub-category of Category:Customer This means that when you
go to the page for the Name_Of_Customer Category, you will get an
automatically generated list of all your customer's names, which link to
the Customer_#### page.
A lot of times on a wiki, categories are your best friend.

Hello,
We run a CRM system which holds ten of thousands of customers. It does not
have a built-in wiki,
but I can add links to it, for example I can make the page header of a
customer page to link
directly to our wiki, for example: if our customer's name would be ACME
Corporation, I
can build an http link around it pointing to our wiki like this:
<a
href="http://wiki.ourcompany.com/index.php/Customer_25653>ACME
Corporation</a>
This worked. Some customers now have their own Wiki page. I used our
customer number and
not the name, because customers' name sometimes change, and we have
customers with the same name,
but which are in fact different companies.
But now in the Wiki I want to create an automatic list of all customers
that have a wiki page.
I thought I could create a Category:Customer for this, but now the
Category page shows a long list
of pages with names like Customer_25653, Customer_25956 etc, all shown
under the letter 'C'
Now I'm stuck because there does not seem to be a way to change the
displayed pagename in
the category page list.
I probably used the wrong solution. Is there a better solution?
Thanks for any pointers,
Ron Arts
