It took some time, but it's finally ready to use. I have made an extension to GOGWiki and a browser script that allow you to easily embed your GOG shelf and wishlist onto GOGWiki. It also turns the username next to each forum post into a link to that user's GOGWiki page.
Here are some examples: [url=http://www.gogwiki.com/index.php?title=User:Barefoot_Monkey]My page[/url], [url=http://www.gogwiki.com/index.php?title=User:Ubivis]Ubivis's page[/url]
For Firefox users
To install:
If you haven't already done so, grab the extension. Then [url=http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/105958]go here to install the gog-gogwiki user script.
To use:
There should be a GreaseMonkey button either next to your URL bar or on your status bar. Use that to open the GreaseMonkey menu and select the "Collect GOG shelf/wishlist" command, as indicated by the attached pictures. More information should appear on your screen if everything works right.
Known issues with the Firefox script:
Collecting your shelf and wishlist information leaves your shelf in "list mode", so you have to switch it back to shelf yourself later. This is because the script needs to visit both the shelf and the list, and GOG always tries to remember which you visited last.
The recently-made Chrome extension doesn't have this problem.
For Google Chrome users
There is a Chrome extension available at http://www.gogwiki.com/chrome/GogWikiSync.crx. If you have a recent version of Chrome them you should be able to install it simple by clicking the link and accepting the prompts that appear on the screen.
For Opera users
For technical reasons, I needed to split the Opera version into two extensions.
Go to the GogWikiSync extension page and press "Install" to get the extension that adds a browser button to sync your games.
Go to the GogWikiLink extension page and press "Install" to get the extension that turns usernames into Wiki page links.
Other browsers
Webkit support will be added in the future.. IE is probably out of luck, but I'll see what I can do once the other browsers are done.
