Hi folks,

I have a page on my wiki at: https://elite-dangerous-iau.fandom.com/wiki/Galactic_Bureau_for_Astronomical_Telegrams

What I'd like to do is have something like the "table of contents" function in Confluence, where an automatically updating list of pages displays, based on a certain page tag/category.

https://elite-dangerous-iau.fandom.com/wiki/GBET_2458771.448611:_EDITORIAL_NOTICE is a sample page with the "GBET" category.

I would like to create pages similar to the above example through an API call with Python, so that when members of my game squadron make an "interesting" discovery in game, they can automatically generate a "bulletin" notice of their discovery.

Fairly new to Fandom wiki's, so my questions are as follows:

1.) I don't readily see in the documentation a way to add soemthing to a page to get it to display an auto updating list of pages by Category/Tag Does this exist?

2.) Being somewhat new to programmatic access and API calls - are there some howto's or examples I can look at to better understand how to go about doing this? The idea being that we'll take a json string, parse it out to human readable text (for the page content itself, along with the raw json), and call the Fandom Wiki API to create the associated page. I can handle the JSON data and generate the content - it's hooking into the fandom API to create a new page under a certain category I'm needing to understand better.

Thanks in advance.
