 * Semantic MediaWiki is an advanced set of options that can be placed onto a wiki that enable forms and browser options. Read more here.--

If you would like to see an example of it in use go to the Animanga Hub
 * Semantic Forms, note the "edit with form" at the top of the page and what happens when you click it. Also the "Facts about" on the bottom of the page.
 * Semantic Drilldown, a way of browsing data using multiple options.

 * Simplest explanation is that it adds a top-level, enduser-editable database to the wiki that allows data to be connected and queried across pages. --daNASCAT http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 18:11, October 13, 2011 (UTC)
 * I would also encourage you to read the link Godisme posted. Very, very few extensions have the kind of excellent documentation SMW has. --daNASCAT http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 18:13, October 13, 2011 (UTC)


 * I'm assuming that I'm supposed to contact Wikia to enable it, right?

 * Yes, you need community consensus too.--
