(Depends on Snoopy; already trying to get DreamHost to help with server config.)

(Finally got Snoopy installed but MediaWiki Bulk Page Creator's scant documentation is hard to follow. Now looking at tools listed under Also, And....)

Also

Article::doEdit()

And

Extension:External Data

(Extension:External Data is part of the Semantic Bundle already installed on PortlandWiki.)

Are you trying to transclude the content from a Wikipedia page into PW? If so I think we would need to use mediawikiwiki:Manual:$wgEnableScaryTranscluding. -kotra (talk) 18:40, 24 March 2011 (UTC)

Yup! That's exactly what I'm trying to do. Thanks kotra! - Dave Myers 16:49, 17 April 2011 (UTC)
