While MediaWiki excels in collaborative text editing and knowledge creation, its design, geared towards openness, proves inadequate for handling electronic signatures, private data, and sensitive or confidential content. The platform lacks official support for splitting access to content on a per-page basis, making it insufficiently secure for documents of a legal nature, such as contracts. Storing personalized clauses globally in the central database would significantly escalate the requirements to the database server. It is imperative not to store personal data on the wiki, including actual values of sensitive contract variables or real contracts. The above factors render the signing workflow unattainable.

What we can do, however, is utilize MediaWiki as a repository for clauses and contract models, with an integrated interactive contract prototype builder. This tool should enable users to pass variables, configure options, preload predefined sections and clauses, and select additional clauses from a designated "bank." Users should also be able to adjust the ordering of these components. The system will generate a dynamic preview of the contract, incorporating the selected clauses aligned with the contract model and substituting dynamic variables with values provided. It can be printed as is on the fly. The resulting text will not be stored or edited on the wiki.
