Any way of wallpapering onto wood and one day stripping it again?

Hello, I want to wallpaper over some wardrobe doors that are MDF and probably spray painted.
Is there a way of sealing them so in future the paper could be removed without damaging the doors?

by yje time that you do that, it's easier to store the doors and make some MDF ones.
 
Seal the doors with some clear varnish first.
My wife did this to our wardrobes and then papered into the relief sculpture. 3 years later we changed the main paper and the bits she put on the wardrobes peeled away leaving the backing paper. Wipe over with a damp sponge and it soon stripped off with no problems.
 
If the doors have been sprayed, you don't need any prep. They are already sealed.

Are the doors flat? If yes, have you worked out how you are going to deal with the door edges?

Without knowing which paper you plan to use or the style of door it is difficult to advise further. Photos and links would be helpful.

Thanks everyone.
I was going to paper up to the back edge of the sides. If I couldn't get a neat edge I might wrap it a little round the back.
Not chosen a paper yet. Just wondering if its a good idea.
