How-To: Properties & Queries[edit]
Property Syntax[edit]
Adding properties to pages[edit]
- Basic syntax: [[Example property::value]]
- How this looks on the page depends on the property's type. The default type is Page, which will display this the same as [[value]], i.e. the text 'value' which links to the wikipage 'value'.
- Properties with the Number type - very common on this wiki - will not add a link. They will just display as 'value'.
- Alternate display text: [[Example property::value|alt-text]]
- Displays as either [[value|alt-text]], for page links; or 'alt-text', for numbers.
- Set property without displaying anything: [[Example property::value| ]]
- The space is required.
If you add a property to a page, check that it's defined! If it isn't, the wiki will use the defaults, which are terrible. In this case you should create the property page yourself.
Defining Properties[edit]
Property is defined by special pages with the Property: prefix. For example, the "Beauty Base" property is defined by Property:Beauty_Base. At minimum a property page needs to define its type.
- Basic syntax: [[has property::type| ]]
- On this wiki the type should probably be either 'number' or 'page'.
- This is the exact same syntax as adding a property to a normal page. That's because has_type is also a property; it's a special built-in property.
- Helper template: {{Property with Page | page = Beauty | type = Number }}
- This sets the type and also displays See Beauty to link to the page that describes what this property is.
A property's page is also a wiki page, so you can add content to it as normal. It's fine to leave it blank.
Query Syntax[edit]
A query allows you to insert content, usually tables, which dynamically update based on data from other pages.
Example[edit]
Wiki code for the query:
{{#ask: [[Skill Base Factor::>0.4]] [[Skill Bonus Factor::+]] | ?Skill Base Factor# = Base | ?Skill Bonus Factor# = Factor | format = table | limit = 100 | mainlabel = Stat | sort = Skill Base Factor,Skill Bonus Factor | order = desc,desc }}
Wiki code on Mechanoid Disassembly Efficiency:
[[Skill Base Factor::0.75|75%]] plus [[Skill Bonus Factor::0.025|2.5%]] per skill level.
(Similar wiki code is on the other pages.)
Query output:
Stat | Base | Factor |
---|---|---|
Pruning Speed | 0.92 | 0.01 |
Social Impact | 0.82 | 0.0275 |
Hacking Speed | 0.75 | 0.025 |
Mech Gestation Speed | 0.75 | 0.025 |
Butchery Efficiency | 0.75 | 0.025 |
Mechanoid Shredding Efficiency | 0.75 | 0.025 |
Arrest Success Chance | 0.6 | 0.075 |
Negotiation Ability | 0.4 | 0.075 |
Butchery Speed | 0.4 | 0.06 |
Drug Cooking Speed | 0.4 | 0.06 |
Medical Tend Speed | 0.4 | 0.06 |
Medical Operation Speed | 0.4 | 0.06 |
Mechanoid Shredding Speed | 0.4 | 0.06 |
Comments:
{{#ask: // Begin a query. // Everything up to the next | is the query term. This particular example returns pages which: [[Skill Base Factor::>0.4]] // have the Skill_Base_Factor property, value is >0.4 [[Skill Bonus Factor::+]] // AND have the Skill_Bonus_Factor property, with any value // Define columns to show. The first column is the page name. | ?Skill Base Factor# = Base // The second column is the page's Skill_Base_Factor value, with heading 'Base'. | ?Skill Bonus Factor# = Factor // The third column is Skill_Bonus_Factor, with heading 'Factor' | mainlabel = Stat // The heading for the first column. // Optional settings. | format = table // This makes a fitted table. 'format = broadtable' makes a table as wide as the screen. | limit = 100 // Maximum number of pages to return. | sort = Skill Base Factor,Skill Bonus Factor // Sort by base factor, then bonus factor. | order = desc,desc }}
