Other ways to query for test cases than the query(s) on Test cases 8.2.0

Copy these to make your own.

Basics

The basic query is

 {{#ask: [[Category:Test cases]] [[Build stream::joyride|Any]]  | additional options }}

One option you should always add is |default=Query for xyz found nothing?!, otherwise you'll have no indication a page has a query that isn't working.

See Inline query output formats.


Query counting each test case

There are {{#ask:

 | format=count
 | default=No articles found in Category:Test cases total?}} <== automatically generated! test cases in Category:Test cases.

There are {{#ask: Build stream::joyride

 | format=count
 | default=No articles found in Category:Test cases with Property:Build stream of Joyride?

}} <== automatically generated! test cases in Category:Test cases with Property:Build stream of Joyride.

Query displaying each test case

If the pages you are including are small, you can embed them with format=embedded. This is like transcluding each page with {{:Title of page}} {{:Another page}} ..., but dynamic.

{{#ask: Build stream::joyride

 | format=embedded 
 | embedformat=h4
 | default=No articles found in Category:Test cases with Property:Build stream of Joyride?

}}

Bug: query for a disallowed value sometimes still works

Bug: if I query for a bogus value, it counts all of them. A query for Build stream==BADVALUE returns a count of {{#ask: Build stream::BOGUS VALUE

 | format=count
 | default=No articles found in Category:Test cases with Property:Build stream of BOGUS VALUE?

}}
