[edit] What can this extension do?
ShowIncomingRelations is a small extension for Extension:SemanticMediaWiki. It shows a box with all relations other pages have to the current page. This information is also provided in a more sophisticated way in the Special:Browse page provided by Extension:SemanticMediaWiki, but this extension provides the information right in the article and saves the user some clicks.
You can combine this extension with Extension:CreateVirtualPages to automatically create pages for every subject referenced by semantic information. The automatically created pages then will also have the information block provided by ShowIncomingRelations
The CSS classes are the same as in SMW, providing for a similar look.
