If you figure this out, I'd be interested in how... I've been
pondering a tool to help store passwords for online services and other
confidential info in a wiki documenting procedures for a department.
The idea is to have these encryped using Blowfish or similar, with a
single master key that unlocks them. This avoids the security problem
of storing plaintext passwords within the wiki/mysql database. But I
haven't figured out a user-friendly way to implement this for editors.
Ideal would be that the editor could do something like what you
describe below {{blowfishencrypt|thepassword}}, and then on save
MediaWiki would encrypt the tagged password and insert the necessary
code to link to the decryption tool.
It sounds like this solution might be a good approach, but I'm also
curious if anyone else has ideas on ways to handle passwords within
documentation...

Hi!
I would like to create a Mediawiki tag that allows me to run PHP code
within an article. I've seen an extension that allows execution of
arbitrary code, but that seems too dangerous to me.
It should be from a specific file only, e.g. "/somefolder/somestuff.php"
which gets called via {{somestuff|foo}} , being "foo" a value which is
used by a function in somestuff.php
I'm sure this would allow many interesting modifications, customizations
and enhancements for MediaWiki.
Can this be done with an extension? How?
If you are trying to do this when the article is saved then yes. For
example the spamblacklist extension runs php code when an attempt is
made to save an article. That might be a good place to look for an
example.
