For an example, take a look at http://ontoworld.org/index.php?title=Sandbox&oldid=24061
I guess that's similar to what you want.

Yes, it does not change any behavior, just adds more options.

Oh really, that'd be great! I haven't yet had the time to install the Semantic MediaWiki extension, but I have taken a quick look at their website. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find anything like that yet - could you point me in the right direction here?
From what I understand, SMW 'only' adds some more advanced tags to the MW syntax - so it doesn't change anything that might confuse basic users, correct? They could still use the wiki as they always have, while advanced users could get their hands dirty with the geeky stuff!?

Semantic MediaWiki could be used to do this.

Hey guys,
While I don't think this is possible (yet?), I still think it's worth discussing:
It'd be great if you could define variables on a page that could be included in the text and which would then be expanded when displaying
the
output. Here's an example of what I mean (syntax arbitrary): <!-- variable definitions --> @status_done = <span style="color: green;">canceled</span> @status_inProgress = <span style="color: blue;">canceled</span> @status_canceled = <span style="color: red;">canceled</span> @document_manualEN = ''User Manual and Usage Notes'' @document_manualDE = ''Benutzerhandbuch und Anwendungshinweise'' <!-- text body --> This is an overview of current tasks: * Install MediaWiki %status_done% * Create Help pages %status_inProgress% * Go on vacation %status_canceled% * Create manuals: ** %document_manualEN% ** %document_manualDE% ** ensure consistency between %document_manualEN% and %document_manualDE% (sorry for the lack of creativity in this example, but it should
suffice
to get my point across)
I believe this could enhance consistency within structured pages, and would probably be easy to implement - and learn - as well (too bad I'm
not
very experienced with PHP). While I guess the same could be achieved with regular templates, it can
be
quite bothersome having to create a new template page for each tiny
element
- not to mention the issue of coming up with unique names for a large
number
of templates that are each only used on one particular page...
Any thoughts?
