NeoWiki turns wiki pages into queryable structured data

Schemas, infoboxes, relations, and Cypher, native to MediaWiki.

This is a public demo of NeoWiki, an early-stage MediaWiki extension. Explore the examples below, edit anything you like (it is a sandbox and resets periodically, so you cannot break it), and tell us what works and what is missing via the issue tracker or by contacting Professional Wiki.

Structured data, queried in a page: Museum collection runs live graph queries over linked museums, artworks, and exhibitions.
Several Subjects on one page: open the Data tab on Rijksmuseum to see the museum and its yearly visitor records as separate Subjects.
Every Subject is shaped by a Schema, and Layouts control how Subjects are displayed.

Trying it hands-on

Edit through a form and watch it update live: Subject views shows one Subject in three layouts at once, with edits propagating between them.
See how a Schema constrains data, with required fields, value ranges, and formats: Validation Demo.
Create your own: start any page, then use "Create subject" in the NeoWiki section of the sidebar.
