Manual:SMW/Templates overview page

To get a better overview of all templates in the wiki, you can catalog the templates using semantic attributes.

Steps

1. Activate the feature Semantic MediaWiki for the namespace "Template" in the namespace manager.
   

   Namespace manager
2. Create the page Property:Is_templateType. Add the following content and save the page:

   This is a property of type [[Has type::Text]].
   

   

   Create a property
3. Add the attribute with a value in source editing mode to your templates, wrapped in a <noinclude></noinclude> tag . The <noinclude>...</noinclude> tag is required so that pages that include this template, are not cataloged as well:

   <noinclude>'''Property type''': [[is_templateType::General]]</noinclude>
   

   

   add property to a template page
4. Add the following SMW-query on any wiki page to create an overview that shows your cataloged templates:

   {{#ask: [[is_templateType::+]]
   |?ist_Templatetype=Template type
   |mainlabel=Template
   |format=table
   |class=datatable
   }}
