I don't know much about MediaWiki conversion engine. Does it have a
command line interface or library interface?

Another source of conversion table I'd like to suggest is
TongWenTang[1,2], which is a javascript based firefox addons that
provides online web page conversion. I have wrote a simple script
tongwen.py[3] that import table from TongWenTang and convert a
file. It's usable, there maybe exist other similar projects though :)
