Set Semantic Properties

Semantic properties can set a value for a specific page, and allows the page to be queried later.
#set is used to set semantic properties to that page.

{{#set:
|Monster name=Brown Fox
|Monster family=Fox
}}

It's possible to use this in a template. Example: {{SemanticData}}

{{#set:
|Monster name={{{Name|}}}
|Monster family={{{Family|}}}
}}

These semantic properties will be set on each page that uses the template.

Hashtables

Hashtables will assign values to a table, similar to an array, and is accessible by all templates on the page.

{{#parameterstohash:Data}} will define all the template parameters to a hash table.
{{#hashvalue:Data|Name}} is fetch a single value from that hashtable.

• Hashtables are only necessary if the values are accessed by multiple templates.

Semantic Query

Querys are used to obtain pages that have certain semantic properties.

{{#ask:
[[Potion type::Recovery]]
|?Potion toxicity
|limit=5
}}

Will return:

	Potion toxicity
Antidote Potion	0.1
Full Recovery Potion	1
HP & MP 10 Potion	0.3
HP & MP 100 Potion	0.3
HP & MP 30 Potion	0.3
... further results

Adding |?Potion toxicity will return that property for each result. This can be multiple different semantic properties to give a wide range of information. Adding |limit=5 will only display 5 of the queried results.

Search Operators

These can assist narrowing search results by adding conditions.

Numeric operators:

• >> and << - Greater than / Less than.
• > and < - Greater than or equal to / Less than or equal to.
  • [[Monster cp::<500]] returns all monsters with less than or equal to 500 CP.
  • [[Monster cp::>>300 || <<500]] returns all monsters between 300 and 500 CP.

Text operators:

• ! - Not
• ~ - Like
• !~ - Not like
• * - Wildcard
• ? - Wildcard for single character
  • [[Potion name::~*Potion]] will return any name that ends with "Potion".
  • [[Potion name::~HP*]] will return any name that starts with "HP".
  • [[Potion name::~*100*]] will return any name contains "100".
  • [[Potion name::!~*100*]] will return any name that does not contain "100".
  • [[Potion name::~HP ?? Potion]] will return any 2 digit HP potion.
    • HP 10 Potion, HP 30 Potion, HP 50 Potion

Format and Templates

|format returns the results in a certain format. For a list of formats, see here
In order to use a template, |format=plainlist must be used.
|template=TemplateName - Rendered for each result.
|introtemplate=TemplateHeader - Rendered before the first result.
|outrotemplate=TemplateFooter - Rendered after the end result.

You can access the primary property (Usually the page name) by using {{{1}}}.
Additional queried properties can be accessed in order like:

?Potion type	{{{2}}}
?Potion can be crafted	{{{3}}}
?Potion craft mana	{{{4}}}

• {{{1}}} is always reserved for the primary property.

Template example:

{{#ask:
[[Potion name::+]]
|?Potion effect
|template=TemplateName
|introtemplate=TemplateHeader
|outrotemplate=TemplateFooter
}}

Template	Content
{{TemplateHeader}}	{| class="mabitable" |- ! Name ! Effect
{{TemplateName}}	|- | {{{1}}} | {{{2}}}
{{TemplateFooter}}	|}

Results:

Name	Effect
HP 10 Potion	Restores 10 Health.
x2 EXP Potion	Doubles EXP received by monsters.
Antidote Potion	Removes poison status.
