Output romkit data to Hidden Palace MediaWiki prototype template/form data #3

Would it be feasible to automatically parse a ROM and generate the necessary data for use with MediaWiki? We could output the source code for the entire page with a combination of data automatically found from the ROM (header, checksum, filename, timestamp, etc) and information added by the user (similar to the prototype form we have currently). It'd be cool if there was some way to get additional information automatically, like automatically run an emulator in the background to get screenshots, connect to some online database to automatically grab release information, and so on.

Another idea is to also give the user the option to have romkit automatically rename the file and zip it up automatically with the proper name format we use for other files on the site.
