With the Forms extension, you can easily create any "content type" in your wiki, and use a form-based interface to edit/modify the content. This is a major win for usability of the wiki for editors and readers alike.
For example, we use the Organization form to enter organizations into our wiki. Then we can display that information in multiple ways: like this map or the table version.
But that's not all. Each form is linked to a template which takes the input and turns the data into properties which imbue meaning and context into the content for intelligence.
Other forms on this wiki include the forms for People and Feature
Training
