I want to provide my users with some permanent information using kind of an
infobox either in the sidebar or in the footer. However, the sidebar seems
to render only links. The same goes for the footer AFAIU
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Footer
Any ideas or pointers how to achieve this goal
You should give the DPL extension a try for creating such reports or even add
your template automatically to such pages:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:DynamicPageList_%28third-party%29
http://semeb.com/dpldemo/index.php?title=DPL:Manual
http://semeb.com/dpldemo/index.php?title=DPL_Examp
Besides using a template for adding a category to a page I would like to add
the very same category name as a class to the page's body tag like so:
$('body').addClass('myCategory')
This would enable category based styling using CSS as suggested at
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Thread:Project:S
Have you tried using the parser function syntax instead of tags? Usually it's
more powerful.

AFAIK most import scripts map one file to one wiki page.
But you could use MediaWiki's XML import/export format for multipage imports
from one file (http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Importing_XML_dumps).
Converting your Word content to XML might be a bit tougher but should be
manageable.
