How do you create more than 100 pages with very similar content ? With some php (below) and the Wiki Special page for Importing XML, that's how!
<?php
/*This little program will generate pages in XML Wiki format for each of the 12 themes and 13 Genres combinations */
/* in my Story Wiki*/
//
//
/* the body of the pages is very similar, only one line changes, hence pbody1, pbody2 are the stuff before and after */
/* the line that changes */
$pbody1 = '<timestamp>2006-03-13T05:51:00Z</timestamp>
<contributor><username>Admin</username><id>2</id></contributor>
<text xml:space="preserve">';
$pbody2='
<!-- Fill in the dotted lines below -->
*Author : ... (your name)
*Status : ... (Finished, On Hold or In Progress)
*Published: ... (date)
*Rating : ... (R, G, PG13, PG, XXX)
*Short Descripition: ...(a summary of your novel)
===Chapter 1=== <!-- Copy and paste this line to add more chapters -->
....paste your chapter here....</text>';

/* XML for the file header */
$headerxml = '<mediawiki xmlns="http://www.mediawiki.org/xml/export-0.3/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.mediawiki.org/xml/export-0.3/ http://www.mediawiki.org/xml/export-0.3.xsd" version="0.3" xml:lang="en">' ;
//

$theme = array ("Anime", "Book","Cartoon","Comic-Manga","MiscFanFiction","Movie","Non-Fiction","OriginalFiction","TV","Videogame");
/* 13 Genres */
$genre = array ("Action-Adventure","Angst","Drama","General","Horror","Humor","Mystery","ORPG","Parody","Poetry","Romance","Sci-Fi","Suspense");
//
/* Generate 146 pages */
echo ("$headerxml \

$t1 = $theme[$i];

echo ("<page>\
