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, we use the Organization form to enter organizations into our wiki. Then we can display that information in multiple ways: like this map or the table version.
