What can this extension do?

Allows a special page to compose a Semantic MediaWiki compatible {{#ask:..}} query. This extension allows to build identification keys for plants, animals or any other kind of things. You should order your SMW objects and properties like the following:

1. If You build an identification key wiki for plants, for snalls and for car types:
   1. Collect your pages in Plants, Snalls and Cartypes category
   2. Collect properties of plants in Category:Properties of plants as subcategory of Category:Plants
   3. Collect properties of snalls in Category:Properties of snalls as subcategory of Category:Snalls
   4. Collect properties of plants in Category:Properties of cartypes as subcategory of Category:Cartypes

Usage

Call {{Special:SemanticQueryComposer/Properties_of_plants}} if you want to allow a query builder interface to identifying plants by added properties and propertyvalues.

• Properties of flower
• Properties of leaf
