Notes
- In #ask queries, the word "Category" is case-sensitive; [[category:...]] will not work.
- Special properties are also case-sensitive if your wiki has initial-caps disabled; e.g. [[Has type:string]]</wiki> correctly references the special "Has type" property, but <nowiki>[[has type::string]] refers only to a non-special "has type" property.
Syntax
SMW introduces a new syntactical structure of the form [[property name::property value]], which may optionally be written with a display parameter: [[property name::property value|display text]]. Both of these formats cause the current page to be assigned the value property name with the value property value.
To set a property without displaying anything, there are two alternative forms:
- [[property name::property value| ]]
- In this form, the space between the "|" and "]]" is required)
- {{#set:property name=property value}}
- This form allows brackets ("[" and "]") to be used in the property value; the other form does not.
parser functions
SMW also uses a few standard-form parser functions:
- #ask
- #declare
- #info
- #set
- #set_recurring_event
- #show
