If you're curious, Cat and I were working on a pseudo-database of all level information about a year ago before enthusiasm for the project petered out. If you're interested, you can use any of the stuff from here, generated by this, with some basic querying stuff stubbed out here. The exact data will be out of date by now, but the second script will make it easy enough to regenerate from existing world pages and there is an existing interface for the data for this wiki. Dunno if this will help speed your project along at all, but since the work's been done, may as well be used if it can. Your idea is quite similar compared to mine, but this especially refers to information synchronization. Currently and other admins at high levels are filling out information for new levels and redesigns, while I compile other statistical information.

The program I programmed extracts informations from the config files itself, and involves a considerable amount of coding and string manipulation. I already posted a chart of all episode means taking both flash and mobile versions into account. My program also extracted all requirements including orders, plus applicable Dw and spawn notes.

Anyhow, you and Cat are indeed important admins especially in the more technical and internal sections of the wiki. The wiki itself also influences me to do programming on a diverse array of languages (I am currently doing Java, Python, HTML, and C/C++). Hope you can get more active here in the wiki! Hmm, how about we synchronise the two efforts? If you can write something which automatically extracts the data from the levels into the Lua table format and I can get back to working on the parsing of the table, we can get the most benefit for the wiki without exposing people to potentially dangerous .jar or .exe files. Not that those file types are inherently dangerous or that I don't trust you, but it's good to not encourage those who are less aware of the virus potential of those files online to click on them. Or maybe just host the source of your programs on GitHub and people can clone and compile it themselves if they want to use it, rather than making them trust random executables online.
