We started using Semantic MediaWiki (SMW) for some "smart" functions of this wiki around June 2019. Feel free to join the effort!
How we use it so far:
- giving equipment pages properties like "Tutor::" and "Location::" so they can easily be listed accordingly
- integrating properties for images into InfoBoxes as a potential way to auto-generate navigation gallerys
- first experiment: Metal Workshop/Gallery
- experimental: adding interesting property tables for tool types such as cutting depths for saws
- what else can you think of?
Cheat Sheet
This is not supposed to replace the SMW documentation, but some things are nice to remember/share once you've finally found them:
- Special:Ask - "sandbox" page for SMW queries (help)
- lets you practice selecting pages with auto-complete of parameters
- assigning properties
- in-text annotation:
[[Property::value]](only "value", or its|alt text, is displayed) - hidden annotation: use the set function
- alternatively, you could enter
|(the space is important!) to the end of a property (e.g.[[Has demo::test| ]]) which might be necessary in certain template elements
- alternatively, you could enter
- in-text annotation:
- list of possible result formats (e.g. table or gallery)
