Relevant terms:
- Meza is a distribution that includes MediaWiki + extensions (and more?) -- Meza: Why and How - James Montalvo
- Cargo is an extension giving access to more underlying databases, tagging of records, query/report from one wiki page about others, e.g. a list or table or chart summarizing them
- Semantic MediaWiki is a more advanced/complicated set of extensions for that too, oriented more towards RDF triples
- Ansible, puppet, vagrant -- for lower level system admin to run wiki farms effectively
- Lua -- a programming language on the wiki, stored in wiki pages, which can help control output on wiki pages (and more? input forms?)
