Thanks Arcane, you touched on another question I had; protecting certain portions of a page from edit. Is there seriously no way to do this at all that isn't a hack? This would be a deal-breaker, unfortunately. Any suggestions for other wikis?

However, you do have two options you might try: First, you could set it up to where revisions have to approved, and you can reject revisions that relocate the infobox. Second, you could have the edit link for the infobox template redirect to a subpage of the main page that can be edited, and the finished product appears in the infobox. The second option requires the infobox be a template with an automatic redirect to an editable subpage, but that shouldn't be too difficult to set up. Unfortunately, I'm not aware of any means of protecting portions of a page instead of the whole page. > Date: Tue, 27 Nov 2012 09:38:09 -0800 > From: [email protected] > To: [email protected] > Subject: [MediaWiki-l] Forcing a certain page layout > > Hi, this is a newbie question; thanks in advance. > > I'm thinking about using SMW with MW.
