FYI, there are classes in MediaWiki like HTMLForm and HTMLFormField which abstract a lot of form creation in MediaWiki already. They are not used universally, but very very often. Those libraries are more useful for the technical details of forms (for instance, preventing cross-site request

Hi, Krinkle, Thanks for your reply. Agree with you that Microdata is not mature enough so far, and we should wait for it. And I will try the custom data-* attribute, although in this way I will lose generality and other tooling support, it is still work for my project. Thanks for you help.
