I am the founder of a wiki for a small mmorpg that's currently in development, and one of the things we do is cataloging every item that is available in the game. Currently we just have a page for each item category, but sometimes an item needs to be present on multiple pages (like for quest rewards and vendors). Just copying data over is problematic, since there are occasional balancing changes to item stats, and it can be hard to keep track of every instance of an item.

The ideal solution would be a database that contains all item information on the backend and the ability to link to entries in that database on wiki pages. Another upside of this would be that databases are better optimized for large amounts of data - we have had issues with page size limits before.

So, is there any way to achieve this? If not, are there any other wiki platforms (preferably free) that could accomplish that?
