Thanks Nicolas. I already am using everything mediawiki-related from ELPA, and my google search for 'org-mode & mediawiki' only showed me what I already have, so I think I've reached the end of the road there, unfortunately. But with regard to moving forward with my bullet-points - 1. If the links are exported as [Betel nut] then under mediawiki they could have the extra '[' and ']' placed by using 'global replace'. This works in my test cases. 2. If this is used [Marijuana!Cannabis] it is possible to use 'global replace' to change '!' to '|' and works very well. Then you can use (1). Both of these solutions work well, although you do have to do a bit more work on a mediawiki buffer, but its all a lot better than trying to build a mediawiki table for the front page.
