Ways to add structured data in web pages were described.

I am personally very happy to find the works going on implementing the structured data here. But I was unable to get a clear understanding of the current availability of any method to use structured data format in the MediaWiki-based websites. Can anyone please tell me how to use structured data on a MediaWiki websites (as we can't directly edit the HTML of the webpages)? In other words how to add structured data as suggested at schema.org?

Also, is there any alternate way (e.g. using extension or php) to use the structured data in the webpage elements. Thank you.

P.S. I asked this question on Talk:Reading/Multimedia/Structured Data but then thought probably I should ask it in this forum, because it's here that most discussions are going on. So, asked it here too.

You can use metadata attributes in HTML, like itemprop, itemtype and itemscope. And also the meta HTML element. Of course, only in the wiki text. There's no way (that I'm aware of) to do that outside of the wiki text (like tagging the entire page). You can implement that in templates. For example, I've implemented it here.

Thank you. I shall study your page and I am sure I shall be able to learn a lot from you.
