Help beta-test a new semantic mediawiki extension at:

http://194.50.176.187/wiki/index.php/Main_Page

All semediawiki syntax is supported with a powerful new addition.

When you type: [[OtherPage!!Information about that page]] on ThisPage,
it adds the text "Information about that page" to a special section on
OtherPage. If it doesn't already exist, OtherPage is created.

ThisPage will display "Information about that page". To display
alternate text on ThisPage, use the pipe character:
[[OtherPage!!Information about that page|text to display]]

The !! syntax nests and supports sememediawiki syntax, so:

[[Charlie Brown]] [[Charlie Brown!!has a sister [[sister::Sally]] who
[[Sally!!loves [[loves::Linus|Linus Van Pelt]] whose [[Linus!!sister
[[sister::Lucy]] [[Lucy!!loves [[loves::Schroeder]]]]]]]]]]

works as expected (of course, don't use linebreaks). To see what "as
expected" means, visit FSTest2 or any of the pages above on the test wiki.

This extension will be released as open source after the testing, so
your testing helps everyone.
