hello,
I would like to announce this extension
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:VisualData
It is an alternative way to create and query datasets on your wiki and has the
following features:
-- is based on json-schemas (the industry standard for description of data)
-- schemas can be created through a user-friendly interface and are used for
validation of forms
-- can automatically generate complex forms out of json schemas and includes a
lot of fancy inputs, including MapTiler (for rendering maps) and TinyMCE
-- inputs with auto-completion based on VisualData queries
-- queries are performed using a SMW-like language through a parser function,
or through an API
-- offers several printout formats including datatables, datatables
automatically use Ajax and the filter is case-insensitive (a limitation
affecting SMW)
-- can easily generate info-boxes with one-to-many relationships
-- supports MW 1.35.3-1.42
The link above includes the official documentation and here
https://wikisphere.org/wiki/Demo_VisualData you can find a lot of demos (which
are currently used also as tests when releasing a new version)
The extension is currently enough stable and full-featured and has been tested
in production projects.
If you want to contribute there is a lot to do mainly in relation to the schema
processor & of course any contribution is welcome.
Looking forward to your feedback and use-cases. (VisualData can coexist with
SMW and PageForms/Cargo, so there is no need to choose among the 3)
All the best
(Thomas)
