Hi there, This is my first post on the wikitech forum and I hope I'm posting it correctly... I have a wiki project and the platform is mostly composed of data

within

tables i.e. within cells. Currenty the data and tables are created and handled with standard "wiki language" (text), which has several restrictions, as you can imagine...

I am looking for an extension that would allow:

• to easily edit tables and cells in order for the wiki users to

modify

data...

• to index or parse the data so as if it's getting change within one

table i.e. one template, the modification gets propagated to other tables/sites. For instance the GDP of Switzerland is used in different tables within different pages. If this data get modified from 1 table (from the template), the other tables from other pages should also be updated with the new data. Does anyone know an extension that could do that? I have found Extension:Data

(http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Data#Data.php),

which seems to be great but very hard to understand (or not clearly described)... and InlineTable (http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:InlineTable). The extension of my dreams would be a combination of these both... Visage émoticône Thank you in advance for any hint!

Cheers Erwan
