Wiki Wishlist

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.
