[a] I suggest moving this thread to the mediawiki-l mailing list.
[b] It sounds to me like you're after a content management system, not
a wiki engine.

What I want to make is a site for scuba-divers. When
they log in they
get a special Userpage (kind of homepage for every user). On that page
they have the possiblity to make a new dive-entry. If they click on that
link they go to a special page where they can fill in a table about
depth, time in the water, pressure, bla.bla. When they submit that data
a new page is created with a nice layout (I use a template in mediawiki)
with all dive-data. Also on the Userpage a new link to that new page is
automatically created when the dive-entry is submitted. So after a few
logged dives a complete list is created.
Because it is a wiki they can make additional pages about dive-locations
(like travelwiki) and upload underwater-pictures and create pages about
marine biology etc..
Any pointers are welcome.
After I solve the issue of making the new pages flauwless, I have to add
the privilege of the user to protect his own pages (so their own
divedata is not molested by other users). I saw on mediawiki that
already some patches and extenstions were written for that so that issue
is next on my agenda.
Also I am very interested to hear why new enrty points can not be made.
Greetings, Edward

A special page should NEVER define a new entry

as a proper special page, and use the proper, built-in classes, member
functions, and where needed, the globals.
Telling us what you're trying to *do* would also be a big step, so we
can give pointers.
