I need to make almost 160 pages of specefic page at my mediawiki. I think it is not intended to normal usage of mediawiki. But If there is no way, I need to make 160 pages and link them by hand. Is there any way to do this? I'm thinking to insert pages into page table. Does this can make problem at mediawiki?

So you can use the API - see Bots for more details

Alternatively, with command line access, you can use a shell script combined with the Edit.php maintenance script

Thank you. I'll check them.

Creating custom MediaWiki import XML and using Manual:ImportDump.php is also a very convenient way to do this.
