Semantic MediaWiki is a cutting-edge tool (semantic web is not yet here, but SMW is one of the instruments that researchers use to create/understand/shape it). So, SMW is not very user-friendly (you noticed this, didn't you?) and even has some known bugs. Moreover, the way in which SMW has been used in AIRWiki can introduce its own bugs and problems too.
Below is a list of known issues, and -where available- instructions about solving them. Feel free to add to the list if you find new ones (provided that, before, you have talked with some of the "semantic" guys to find out if it's really a bug :-) ).
In the page of my (whatever), the "Description" field begins with "prjDescription=[["! How can I remove that?
Well, this is an issue, associated to the use of square parentheses in the "Description" text. You simply have to avoid using [ ] in the Description.
Unfortunately this also means that you cannot put links into the Description. However, you can put the links in the free wiki code that you can insert at the bottom of the page, after the initial semantic part (i.e., the part between {{ and }}).
