title: Using Mediawiki to Connect to a Custom Database?
body: <p>I don't know if this is possible, and I know Mediawiki isn't designed to do this, but I haven't been able to really find any sort of information about this and fear I'm not using the right terminology. Is it possible to have a page on Mediawiki connect to a database? For example, let's say you have a table of information stored in a database on your server that lists a bunch of country data. Would there be a way for a Mediawiki page to grab information from that database, say using PHP, and output it as an HTML table? Like a traditional .php file that links to your mySQL tables and displays their information into an HTML table? Or do I have to use my PHP script to generate the table, then basically c/p the information in to Mediawiki?</p>
  
  <p>Thank you so much! :)</p>
