Does anybody know if MediaWiki supports templates? I'd like to be able to structure pages somewhat like a database, with strongly enforced fields. Thoughts?

Hi!
You know of Help:Templates?
What do you mean with "strongly enforced fields"? Do you want to force your editors to fill out certain fields?
Yeah, I don't think their definition of templates is what I'm looking for. I want something more like a database with, as you said, editors being forced to fill out (or at leas presented with) certain fields. For example: Name, Address, etc.
What I'm looking for is to build a client profile page for hundreds of clients, and the fields/subfields are generally the same for all those clients. Trying to decide if MediaWiki is the way to go.
You may be looking for something like Extension:SemanticForms.
