The ShowIncomingRelations is a small extension for Semantic MediaWiki. 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 Semantic MediaWiki, but this extension provides the information right in the article and saves the user some clicks.

You can combine this extension with the Extension:CreateVirtualPages extension 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.

Download

Download the zip file and extract it to the folder of your MediaWiki installation.
