Thread:Extension talk:Semantic Glossary/How do I enter terms?/reply (7)

I've been using Semantic Glossary and thanks to User:F.trott's simple explanation I was able to get up-and-running with Semantic Mediawiki.

I had been completely confused about properties, datatypes, templates and forms and how they all worked together.

But Mr. User:F.trott made it all come together after I posted the original question. Thank You!!!

Sorry to say that User:MWJames' "improvement" is in fact, very confusing. It may be technically accurate but is/was NOT the simple explanation as laid out in the original response.

I referred a friend here who is just beginning to learn SMW as I was a couple years ago, but when I saw the original answer had been removed I had to tell my friend to ignore this thread and we would find other ways to break down the learning process.

As an educator, I know it is all-to easy for experts in a particular field to forget how to break down the basics of a subject and sail right over the top of the heads of novice students...so I don't want this to come across as a criticism of User:MWJames. Just a reminder for us all to pay attention to the steps involved in the learning process.

I would suggest the original post response of User:F.trott be reverted to so others can gain the benefit of his tutorial.
