Wikipedia plots and tables?

If you look at this question objectively, Spencer, would you not agree that this question is entirely off topic here?
I can understand why you might think that. However, I believe
this lists entertains questions dealing with interfacing R with other
software, e.g., R with Matlab. I'm using R for this purpose, and it
seems to me to be a natural question to ask if there are other tools for
this or other ways of using R for this.
Beyond that, Wikipedia is one of the most heavily used web sites
on the Internet. Any positive reference there to R helps expand the
recognition of R world wide.
Where else might it be appropriate to ask such a question?
Thanks for your reply.
Spencer

Hello, All:
What facilities exist for plots and tables of data in the
standard MediaWiki software beyond the obvious standards?
The standard MediaWiki tables and graphics capabilities seem to
me to be rather clumsy, and I wonder if I'm missing some available
extensions?
The standard MediaWiki tables are described in a Wikipedia
article on "Help:Table". Wikimedia Foundation projects ask users to
upload photos and graphics Wikimedia Commons -- preferably in scalable
vector graphics (*.svg) format.
For additions I'm making to Wikimedia projects, I'm adding two
things to the Ecdat package, now on R-Forge:
(1) Economics data sets with documentation describing how
to produce a *.svg file, which I then upload to Wikimedia Commons and
use in Wikimedia projects such as Wikipedia, Wikiversity, and Wikinews.
The description of the contribution refers to Ecdat for details.
(2) Functions to facilitate creating and updating data
objects being added.
Are there better ways of producing quality graphics and maybe
interfacing R with MediaWiki projects?
Thanks,
Spencer Graves
