[Wikia-l] Does Wikia search suggest a 2-edit-screen future? Might fix other stuff.

There is always Semantic Forms:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Semantic_Forms

 From what I get, it allows for the creation of user defined forms. And 
use of those forms in editing certain pages.
As SMW has been recently released, it's likely Semantic Forms will to.

So it would always be possible to create a form with the information 
bits you want on pages and that would abstract the entering of the data.
