The Wiki API allows you to retrieve a page from the Wiki database. You can do any manipulation you want on that text including scanning for next and previous sections. That's possible. You could in theory build a page based on this info... and then "put" it into the wiki. Issues as I see it with this: - It's not dynamic. You cannot (at least as far as I know) generate the TOC on demand usig the WikiBot. The Wikibot could build a page and save it, essentially mimicking the actions of a person doing the same tasks, but dynamic... although, there is at least one extension that can create a dynamic page list... - You cannot (as it's currently implemented) tell if a next page is a next top level section, or a next subsection (nested sections). I'm sure these things can be solved... it actually might not be best to use a WikiBot, but instead maybe a custom built extension. WikiBots basically are used to mimic human actions on the Wiki.. doing mass moves, changing links or common text in a stack pf pages etc. Extensions are used to add functionality to the Wiki... and mybe this is a better route... worth looking more into both possibilites.
