That extension needs almost as much work as PWD before it'll pass security
review.  I'm fairly sure the installer doesn't even run.

You'd only need to edit [[Template:WPBannerMeta]] and the 20 or so banners
which don't use it.  

Overall this extension looks like a messy, cut-down version of SMW, which is
just different enough to be incompatible.  Reinventing the wheel to give this
enough functionality to be useful, wouldn't be my preference for dealing with
this.
