Thanks Yury Katkov and Phil Rice for answering.
Regarding Phil's answer, I'm too new at this to understand the actual code that you wrote and my question may have been unclear, so I'll try to rephrase it to find out whether it is referring to my situation:
I'd like to set up a wiki where the wiki editors will not need to understand MediaWiki tags; I want the editing page to be a form with specific predetermined fields to fill out. e.g. The people who add content to the wiki will see two fields, Title1 and Paragraph1, and after they fill out those they can say that they want to add another paragraph to the page and then two more fields will appear, Title2 and Paragraph2, etc. And finally when they're done they can save the whole page. They can also somehow insert links to source quotes and the source quotes would be stored via a different form.
How do I go about this? Do I need to learn how to write a custom extension or is there already a way available? Semantic Forms extension seems to possibly provide some of this functionality but I have a feeling that it might not be the correct tool for this job. Maybe overkill or maybe just wrong?
Thanks again, Eli
