copied!<p>There is no way to directly do this in stock MediaWiki, although you can fake it up somewhat with templates. For example, you could can a template something like this:</p> <pre><code>{{#switch:{{{key}}} | key1 = value1 | key2 = value2 | key3 = value3 ... }} </code></pre> <p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template%3aNUMBEROF/data" rel="nofollow">Template:NUMBEROF/data</a> on the English Wikipedia is an example of this style (with two levels of keys).</p> <p>Or you can create a set of templates, one for each "record", that each take an "output formatter" template as a parameter and pass that output formatter a named parameter for each column in the record. The <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category%3aCountry_data_templates" rel="nofollow">Country data templates</a> on the English Wikipedia are an example of this pattern.</p> <p>Or you could combine the above two styles, with one parameter to select the row (as in the first style) and a second to provide the output formatter (as in the second).</p> <p>If you don't mind installing extensions, you could use the <a href="http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension%3aLabeled_Section_Transclusion" rel="nofollow">Labeled Section Transclusion</a> extension to transclude sections of a data page. Or you could install the <a href="http://semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/Semantic_MediaWiki" rel="nofollow">Semantic MediaWiki</a> extension, which I hear allows all sorts of querying of data from the wiki's pages. Or you could install one of the many <a href="http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Category%3aDatabase_extensions" rel="nofollow">Database extensions</a> that may allow you to do what you want. Or you could write your own database extension.</p>

Querying!
