Extension talk:Semantic Internal Objects

Internal objects and redirects
If you have an article with internal object definitions and a redirect onto that article, then internal objects are created for both the article and the redirect. Hence querying the internal object will then produce hits for the article and for the redirect. (Makes for magic doubling of project manpower. :-) ) --F.trott 14:34, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

Link to pagename in query results
I use #ask with mainlabel=- to query internal objects and suppress the meaningless main column. The column with the name of the semantic relation contains page names (in my case with a namespace prefix), but without links to the pages. Can this be activated somehow? --AndreasMangold 16:51, 9 January 2010 (UTC)


 * My guess is that the property that points to those page names is of type "String", instead of "Page"; and thus that the property's type just needs to be changed - is that right? Yaron Koren 18:39, 10 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Yes, it is right. Thank you very much for answering my question and for helping me to solve this problem. --AndreasMangold 19:33, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

Need to resave for internal objects to appear
I'm having a problem where a query for the internal objects of a certain property doesn't show objects that have been created after the query or that have been modified. I have to manually resave the page where I am using #ask for the new internal objects or modifications to appear. Any help or insight would be appreciated. Thanks. --128.54.162.143 00:21, 11 January 2010 (UTC)


 * This is probably just an issue of MediaWiki caching. If you "refresh" the page (i.e., by hitting the "refresh" tab that goes to "action=purge"), you should be able to refresh the query results, without needing to resave anything. Yaron Koren 01:03, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

Ah, you're right. Hitting the refresh tab did make the results appear. If I did not use the refresh tab, would the results eventually show up? --128.54.162.143 04:24, 11 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Yeah - usually within a day or so. Yaron Koren 04:46, 11 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Ah I see. Well thank you very much for your help. --128.54.162.143 05:27, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
