attempt #1 at auto-generating softography for developer (i.e. people) pages.
The idea was to dump out variables called "<PERSON>_<ROLE>", then we could loop through every game page looking for a person and return both the role and game.
problems
1) Mediawiki doesn't like the abuse of square brackets 2) I don't think it likes the idea of using variables to create the names of new variables. This is problematic, as multiple people might be credited in the same line. 3) It's so horrendously inefficient it probably wouldn't work anyway
