  • Fix the way a template automatically looks.
  • "Using template" aggregation on the template page
  • Edit with form tab
  • Auto translate properties
  • Make the free text box larger.
  • View video
  • How do I put a default value in a form. ie unless someone edits it the value is ..
  • We need a way to edit a form or a template using the gui, after it has been created. Or at least add to it ie merge with a new template.
  • When creating a template, you should be able to create properties in that window as well as use already created properties.
  • Can I have a category page that lists all for example activities, but instead of having links to them has a template that presents them like on the current activities page.
  • Is there anyway for templates created with the SMW generater to automatically follow the form here: Template:Activity

ie have a visual of what a filled in version would look like, as well as wiki source text.

  • When creating a template in addition to the three fields given you should also provide a field for example use case. This should appear on the template page as on Template:Activity, and also in the default form so that we get more consistent data entry.
  • Way to embed google maps in wiki with locations of projects/deployments and with links to appropriate wiki pages.
  • Semantic google maps
  • Way to aggregate numbers. Use case:
number of laptops in south america = SUM number of laptops in countries in South America
Access the number of instances of a property like number of projects in south America
  • Query syntax?
  • Property type that is a wiki user name
  • Way to hide private metadata
  • Way to automatically email users who maintain pages
  • Way to automatically update activities using the meta data about the activities
  • Semantic Data


  • Way other than transclusion to automatically put in meta data. Use case:
Number of laptops in a place
  • Way to load a random piece of information from a list of stories
deployment main page should have a random excellent story. Or automatically cycling story
  • Semantic data to self update ex page last updated case
  • Way to make metadata not always create a new page. without having to define the property has type. use case would be properties that sometimes have new pages and sometime don't
  • edit SMW so that there is a type "optional page" that displays it as a page if it is there, otherwise it is displayed as a string instead of a red link.
  • Way to pull %translated from pootle
