The nature of the data you wish to import is unclear, as is the desired
presentation.
Is this data an existing MediaWiki site? If so, I would try upgrading the
existing MediaWiki, and it should convert the data, which you can then import
into the new wiki using standard SQL techniques.
If you want to present other MySQL data alien to MediaWiki, I have an extension
that may be useful to you that allows tabular display from standard SQL
statements, maintained from within MediaWiki. It has some nice enhancements,
like pagination and being able to keep a running total, eliding long texts, and
basic (non-resizing) image display. Here is an example:

Let me know if you want the extension and I will email it to you. I’d post it
in the MediaWiki extensions library, but I’m always working on it… :-)
