Hi John, I'm glad you read the book!
This question - how much data there should be before it's worth turning the wiki into a structured wiki - doesn't have an obvious answer, I don't think. If your table is going to stay roughly that size, there probably isn't much point to do it. If it's going to grow by a lot, and especially if there will eventually be more columns, then it seems worthwhile. But I don't know what the cutoff point is. -Yaron On Wed, Jan 3, 2018 at 5:04 PM, John Lewis <[email protected]> wrote: > On Wed, 2018-01-03 at 16:09 -0500, Yaron Koren wrote: > > Hi John, > > > > Semantic MediaWiki and Cargo are the two extensions that are > > generally used > > for this kind of thing.
