Semantic MediaWiki
From CoMakingSpace Wiki
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 generate navigation gallerys
- 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:
- 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| ]]) but that should not be necessary anymore
- alternatively, you could enter
- in-text annotation:
- list of possible result formats
