Extension:SemanticDependencyUpdater

The Semantic Dependency Updater (SDU) extension monitors pages for changes in their semantic data. If the "Semantic Dependency" property is found, this extension will update (null-edit) all pages that have been selected through that property.

The "Semantic Dependency property" is evaluated as an ASK query. It is therefore possible to define either a list of pages directly or do more complex selections.

It is possible to build a chain of semantic dependencies that will update recursively. Be careful not to build loops!

Installation
Instead of downloading the zip archive you may also check this extension out via Git:
