Can you extract it by custom javascript? Or get a third party site, relay it somehow. Has any wrote wikia extensions that can extract pages?
custom javascript is risky. better stick to mediawiki coding.
I'm down to DPL, see example, but for something so small I don't know if it's worth it.
So I get Wiki to install that extension on the Macross wiki? And use the dpl tag?
I'm hopefully doing featured image as well.

think i got a method. but it wont cut at a word count. it will cut at a pixel height
Oh I see, I am focused on selecting a string randomly from a category.

i am still working on displaying a fixed content, as infoboxes take up too much space (as i realized with my wiki: Darkorbit Wiki). but yes, it will eventually include the category function.
try this:
{| |<div style="overflow:hidden;width:300px;height:16em;">{{:{{#tag:DynamicPageList| category=Featured count= mode=none randomcount=1}}}}</div> |- |style="text-align:right;"|[[{{:{{#tag:DynamicPageList| category=Featured count= mode=none randomcount=1}}}}|Read more >]] |}
(shakey. if this doesnt work, i have another option.)
