We're hoping to set up a wiki to record information about each of our sites and combine it with a user generated knowledge base all in one product. We want the data to be structured so that we can automatically extract the data for display in "summary pages", eg pull out the primary contact email addresses from each site page onto a page that is just a list of emails, pull out inventory details for each site into one inventory page, etc.
Each site will have someone responsible for updating the information for their site. Managers will have summary pages for the sites they manage built from those pages.
However as we anticipate this information being added to (eg adding new check lists, new epices on information relating to contracts etc) whats the best way of adding new content to ALL the existing pages, eg a new section on telephony contract contact details
If it was a database then adding a new field would be visible to all but we think that a wiki will be more effective as we want just one system to store all the information much of the data will be unstrucutured.
I can see that using a template would allow all new pages to be created with these sections already in but my understanding is that templates are only referred to at page creation time.
We don't yet have any pages but I want to make sure that we get the plugins, namespace structure and process for additional data tested before we go live.
Any suggestions appreciated.
