About

Magic Words

  • {{PAGENAME}} — Page's name, {{NAMESPACE}} — Page's namespace
  • {{#tag:<tagname>|<content>}} — Allows to parse content first

Parser functions

  • {{#if: <string> | <if not empty> | <else>}}
  • {{#ifeq: <string 1> | <string 2> | <if identical> | <else>}}
  • {{#expr: <mathematical expression>}}
  • {{#time: Y-m-d }}

String functions

  • {{#pos: <string> | <search term>}}
  • {{#replace: <string> | <search term> | <replace term>}}
  • {{#explode: <string> | <delimiter> | <position>}}

Extension:CirrusSearch (help)

  • Search modifiers — "exact phrase", wildcard zero or more*, wildcard one or more\?, !exclude, fuzzy~
  • Wikicode search for template parameters: insource: "exact phrase"
  • Namespace: Template: skill, Page name prefix: prefix: Main, Prefix subpage: prefix: Main Page/

About

Inline queries

  • {{#ask: [[Category:<category>]] [[<property>::<property value>]] | ?<show property 1> | ?<show property 2> | <options>}}
  • {{#show: <pagename> | <options>}} — shortcut for {{#ask: [[<pagename>]] | mainlabel=- | <options>}}

Selecting pages

  • [[<property>::<value>]] — selects all pages having the <property> set to the <value>
  • [[Category:<category>]] — selects all pages within the category <category>

Search operators

  • [[<property>::+]] — selects all pages having the <property> set to any value (not empty)
  • [[<namespace>:+]] — selects all pages from a certain namespace, use [[:+]] to search in mainspace
  • [[<property>::~*<string>*]] — wildcard search
  • [[<property>::!<not value>]] and [[<property>::!~<not string>]] — exclude from search
  • [[<property>::in:<string>]] — same as ~*<string>* and [[<number property>::in:100]] (from 0 to 100) or [[<date property>::in:2020]]
  • [[<property>::like:<string>]] and [[<property>::nlike:<not string>]] — new concepts for wildcard search

Displaying properties

  • ?<property> — displays the values of the <property>
  • ?<property>=<displayed property name> — overrides the property name intro, can also be empty (see also headers=hide for list formats)
  • ?<property># — displays the value in plain format, useful to suppress thousand number separator or page link (see also link=none)
  • ?<property>|+limit=<number> — limits the displayed properties to <number>
  • ?<property>|+offset=<number> — offsets the displayed properties by <number>
  • ?<property>|+order=<sorting order> — allows to sort the displayed properties: "asc", "desc" and "n-asc", "n-desc" (numerical)
  • ?<file property>#noimage — suppresses the image
  • ?<file property>#<size, e.g. 250px>;<further image options> — image options, note that link=<page name> is not possible
  • ?<boolean property>#tick — displays true and false as ✓ or ✕ and ?<boolean property>#num as 1 or 0

Parameters

  • format — defines the result format, e.g. "table", "list", "ol" (ordered list), "ul" (unordered list), "count", "plainlist" (result format specified by template)
  • limit — maximal number of results
  • offset — where to start
  • sort — list of properties that define the sort order, leave empty to sort by main result, separated by ","
  • order — sort order: "asc" or "desc", again separated by ","
  • headers — can be set to "show" (default) to display the properties as links, "plain" to display them as plain text or "hide"
  • mainlabel — Displayed main label text, set to "-" to disable
  • link — can be set to "none" to display the result as plain text
  • default — default displayed text if nothing is returned
  • intro and outro — intro and outro text, for templates use introtemplate and outrotemplate to ensure proper parsing
  • searchlabel — search label if limit is exceeded

Result formats

  • format=table and format=broadtable — sortable wikitable table
    • ?<property>|+align=<left/center/right>
    • ?<property>|+width=<width, e.g. 250px>
    • class=<css classes>
    • sep=ul/ol — special format for multi value properties
  • format=list — comma list with properties displayed in parenthesis, since this format uses lots of css stuff it's not recommended to use this in templates (use format=plainlist instead)
  • format=ul and format=ol — unordered and ordered list
  • format=count — returns the number of results
  • format=sum — sums up the queried property of all results
  • format=gallery — image gallery format
  • format=plainlist — either a plain list format separated by "," or specify your own result format template using template=<template name>
    • template=<template name> — set to the template name
    • introtemplate=<template name> — used to properly parse tables
    • outrotemplate=<template name> — can be set to "table footer"
    • sep=<separator> — separator between the individual results
    • propsep=<separator> — separator between the properties of a result
    • valuesep=<separator> — separator between the values of a property
  • {{#smwdoc: <format>|parameters=<specific, base, all>}} — quick parameter documentation

Setting properties

Subobjects

  • Subobjects allow to store and group properties within on one page without specifing auxiliary pages
  • {{#subobject:<name>
      |<property 1>=<value 1>
      |<property 2>=<value 2a>;<value 2b>|+sep=;}}
  • [[Has subobject::<page name>]] — get all subobjects from one page

Additional concepts

  • Property chains — [[<property1>.<property2>::<value>]] and ?<property1>.<property2>
  • Subqueries — [[<property1>::<q>[[<property2::value1]]</q>]] having a subquery within the tag <q>
  • Inverse properties — [[-<property1>::<value>]] and ?-<property1>
  • Subobject sortkey — @sortkey=<sort value> sets a sortkey to the subobject which is used instead of <page name>#<subobject name>

Tooltips

  • {{#info: <text>}} — nice tooltip tool that also support links

Substitution

  • Substitution can be used with templates, magic words or parser functions and automatically converts the returned value of those into wikitext.
  • {{subst:<magic word>}} — substitutes the magic word, e.g. {{subst:PAGENAME}}
  • {{subst:<template>}} — e.g. {{reset indent}}
  • {{subst:#show:{{subst:PAGENAME}}|?Has canonical name}}

Templates

  • Templates simplify life! Templates are used to for repetitive and complicated tasks to avoid duplicate work. Created in template namespace and can be transcluded with {{<template name>}} on any page, without or with parameters, e.g. {{<template name>|<unnamed parameter value 1>|<parameter 1>=<value 1>}}
  • Parameters are either named, e.g. <parameter 1> are called with {{{<parameter 1>}}} or unnamed, i.e. they are numbered ascending, e.g. {{{1}}}.
  • If a parameter isn't specified in the template, the parameter name itself will be displayed. Use an alternative value to avoid this (which can also be empty): {{{<parameter 1>|<alternative value>}}}.
  • Template inclusion can be handled by the following tags: <includeonly> — included, only invisible on template page; <noinclude> — excluded, only visible the template page; <onlyinclude> — included, but visible on the template page.
  • Formatting guide — template page documentation formatting guide, please make sure to give at least a short description and a list of all available parameters.

Variables

  • {{#vardefine:<variable name>|<value>}} — allows to specify a variable that can be called with {{#var:<variable name>}} anytime.

Arraymap

  • {{#arraymap:<list>|<delimiter>|<variable>|<applied on each element>|<new delimiter>|<conjunction delimiter (optional)>}} — maps over a list separated by the delimiter (e.g. new line: "\n" or comma: ","), where each entry (use them as variable, e.g. @@@) is modified individually and then concatenated with the new delimiter.
