Huh, TIL that Semantic MediaWiki had that functionality.

Anyway, Semantic MediaWiki is already installed on the wiki and we use it for a lot of things (basically all lists on PCGW is populated using SMW). However the news section isn't based around Semantic MediaWiki's property system, so we can't use it for this purpose without having to rebuild the whole news system and move it away from Cargo (which we otherwise intend to replace SMW with where possible).

Such a move would also bring with it some downsides such as unreliable updates and on occasion stale data.

For the purpose of the news section, the current Cargo setup works the best.
