Page Schemas extension
Version 0.4.5 Yaron Koren and Ankit Garg
This is free software licensed under the GNU General Public License. Please see http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html for further details, including the full text and terms of the license.
Overview
Page Schemas is an extension to MediaWiki that allows for defining all the schema information about a "class", or data type - for naming, display, data input, and browsing - within a single piece of XML contained within a category page. This XML can then be used to generate all the necessary additional pages needed to put the schema into effect, such as template pages and, for instance, if Semantic Forms is installed, form pages. The XML can be created and edited via a helper form, preventing users from having to generate or modify it manually.
Page Schemas allows other extensions to define their own fields to add to the XML, using hooks.
For more information, see the extension homepage at: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Page_Schemas

Installation
To install the extension, place the entire 'PageSchemas' directory within your MediaWiki 'extensions' directory, then add the following line to your 'LocalSettings.php' file:
