Structured data can be managed separately
A major feature of MediaWiki is the Multi Content Revisions (MCR) feature. MCR provides a way to store content in multiple slots on a page. This means that structured data can be managed separately.
The benefits of separating structured data from user content
The ability to manage structured data separate from the free content of the page has many advantages for developers and users.
- For developers the wiki is easier to develop and maintain
- For users the wiki offers better features and is more standardized
- For the owner of the wiki it means a better Information and Productivity platform at lower cost.
