Create a Wiki site out of an Excel sheet
Hey,
I want too create a wiki page out of an excel sheet. I use Makros to create html/php pages and know how too use them, but i didnt know where i find the wiki pages in the folders? Is it even possible to create a page in an editor or something else and upload it to integrate it into the wiki?
The excel sheet is an Inventory list about parts we use in our physics department and there are like 5000 entries and i dont want to create a single page for everyone.
thx for your help

In MediaWiki articles are not placed each in folders. They're stored in a database. maybe Manual:Importing XML dumps helps.
hmm thats not realy what i need, the problem is, that each entry should create a new site with a photo and specification if i understand the xml dump right it is only a single page
but thx anyway, if i get an answer i will post it
To add to the above, there are a number of extensions available for importing XML and/or CSV data:
(Visit those pages to find out whether or not they could be of any use to you)
I also happen to be in a situation where I need to pass values from a CSV file to wiki pages (a page per entry), more specifically through a MediaWiki template. I'm not yet sure if that's possible with any of the above, but Data Transfer looks like it might handle the job.
For the record, when you said "there are like 5000 entries and i dont want to create a single page for everyone" and later, "each entry should create a new site", do you mean that you want to have a single page per entry, but just do not want to create them all by hand?
