Hi, Rich:
I would not recommend automatically updated plots in Wikipedia without
an intermediate human check, though you might do it for, e.g., a
corporate Wiki that uses the MediaWiki software.
However, you should be able to
git clone https://github.com/sigbertklinke/R
Then create your own version to do what you want and offer it as a
replacement for
"https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Extension:R&oldid=4384988";.
Of course, if you are the only user, you may not want to invest the time
required to do that.

Hi Spencer,
Thanks for the quick reply. Iiuc, what you are describing is the ability to document R
code in MediaWiki pages with R specific syntax highlighting. This is provided by
MediWiki's "SyntaxHighlight" extension, which provides that language specific
syntax highlighting for many different programing languages, including R.
What I'm looking for, and info on anything people might still be using to do
what the MediaWiki R Extension did way back when it was available.
Specifically, it actually processed R code when the page is saved and delivered
a limited type of output (presumably a single plot output) back to the wiki for
viewing.

Hi, Rich:
I have NOT used that, but I have R Markdown code in appendices to article on Wikiversity under "Category:R Markdown vignettes".[1]
In addition to ending with "[[Category:R Markdown vignettes]]", I set all code from vignettes between "<syntaxhighlight
lang="text">" and "</syntaxhighlight>".
I do not know if this is of interest to you or anyone else.
Best Wishes, Spencer Graves
p.s. I am actively developing "MaddisonData" and "WID" packages on GitHub,[2]
which facilitate analysis of data from the Maddison Data Project and the World Inequality Database.
I am NOT and economist and could use collaborators who could help get articles using these packages
published in appropriate refereed academic journals, in exchange for joint authorship, of course.

[2] I'm "sbgraves237" on GitHub:

I'm especially interested in collaborators for "MaddisonData":
https://github.com/sbgraves237/MaddisonData
and "WID":

Hello,
I am interested in finding out if there re any active projects that provide R integration
to MediaWiki. From 2006 to 2016 there was an extension for MediaWiki called
"R".
