Semantic Incoming Properties provides a parser function, #iask, which displays a list of incoming semantic properties (defined via the Semantic MediaWiki extension) to a specific page. Incoming semantic properties are simply properties on other pages which point to the specific page.

For example, the page "Clint Eastwood" may be linked to on some pages with the semantic property "Has actor", and on other pages with the property "Has director". In this case, if #iask were passed in the value "Clint Eastwood", it would display the string "Has actor,Has director".

Usage

{{#iask:pagename|threshold|delimiter}}

• pagename: the full page name, including the namespace if any.
• threshold: only if the number of pages which link to pagename using a specific property is higher than or equal to the threshold, the property is displayed in the result (default=1).
• delimiter: delimiter to be used to separate between the semantic properties in the result (default=,).
