It's possible with Semantic Forms from Semantic MediaWiki extension bundle. The basic idea there is that you have so called 'properties' of the page that can be paragraphs of text, number, coordinates, etc. ----- Yury Katkov, WikiVote

Hello, I hope that I'm sending this queston to the appropriate place.
I'd like to create a wiki where articles are restricted to a specific format, for example the format will be that an article can have a number of separate paragraphs and each paragraph will have a title. So I'd like to store the parts of the article (paragraphs, titles) as separate fields in a database. I will then display the database data using a custom display.
Do I have to write my own extension to MediaWiki? Can I use the Semantic Forms extension which seems to provide all kinds of helpful ways of defining classes with properties, or is that a misuse of the Semantic Forms extension? Is there a different extension or way that I can do things like this where I'm basically using MediWiki to fill a database and then to display the contents of the database? Or maybe MediaWiki is not even the tool that I should be using?
Thank you very much.
