I have been working on the Tremulous wiki for the past few days, and one of the goals of the wiki is to get a page for every cvar/command. There are over 300 cvars.
We could have done the traditional wiki thing, that is, let it sit and people add them one by one. Or we could do a truly efficient thing, use a script. DavidSev made a script that would take the output of the ingame cvarlist, convert it to a wiki format, and add infoboxes and categories and all that.
He used this script to generate XML import documents in mediawiki format. The next part was really quite easy, just run the import script on mediawiki.
Now, we have done what would have taken weeks otherwise in a few hours. But we still have content to add.
Medawiki is a most flexible tool, and this becomes more apparent the more i use it.
