Hi Evelyn, You might be interesting in setting this option: <http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgEnableScaryTranscluding> It allows transcluding pages from other wikis (although then it says only template pages, but you can put whatever content you want in a template page anyway...and the talk page seems to indicate otherwise, anyway...). Maybe you want a script to automatically create the 470 pages you want... I don't think custom namespaces are relevant, and your question about parser functions and CategoryTree is not clear. Maybe try rewording it? cheers Brianna -- They've just been waiting in a mountain for the right moment: http://modernthings.org/ _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l
