With Semantic MediaWiki and the Semantic Forms extension, you can easily create any content type in your wiki, and use a form-based interface to edit/modify the content.
With the Forms extension, you can easily create any "content type" in your wiki, and use a form-based interface to edit/modify the content.  This is a major win for usability of the wiki for editors and readers alike.


For example, see this "Case Study" content type at the Creative Commons website:
For example, we use the [[:Form:Organization|Organization]] form to enter organizations into our wiki. Then we can display that information in multiple ways: like [[Local_experts|this map]] or [[Local_experts#tab=Free_Directory|the table]] version.

But that's not all. Each form is linked to a template which takes the input and turns the data into '''properties''' which imbue meaning and context into the content for intelligence.
 
Other forms on this wiki include the forms for [[:Category:People|People]] and [[:Category:Feature|Feature]]
