I am equally frustrated but I don't think it is a matter of lacking expertise. If that were the case, they would have at least given my solution a try. To my knowledge, they didn't. However they came to their decision, it sounds like they won't settle for anything less than native support. Given that Feeds and MediaWiki are two different platforms, that is obviously never going to happen. Okay. I use jQuery.getJSON and maybe they don't have jQuery in the Feeds environment. However, I know there are plenty of users like KockaAdmiralac that are perfectly capable of using JS's native XMLHttpRequest instead. So I don't see that as a reason why it wouldn't work. I also used jQuery to select the elements but even I could replace that part with vanilla JS if needed.
