Template talk:Job

Clarification of limitations

This template is bumping up against the limits of SMW, since assigning so many associated properties to a single entity requires it to be a subject in itself, i.e. to have a handle on which separate simple properties can be hung. One page per job sounds like a non-starter; another possibility could be a separate page section, but that sounds fiddly and/or not how SMW is designed to work - an uphill struggle at best. There must be other SMW wikis who have faced this problem, so advice from more seasoned SMW users/developers would be good, even if the answer is to await a richer software platform. The template is as functional as I can easily make it with my level of skill in RDF/SMW, and is good enough for the time being - it can be rewritten later to represent the data semantically however seems convenient.

• The Deputy and Boss sections for jobs are correct, but have a warning triangle and unwanted messages. Now fixed -- Robin (talk) 10:37, 14 April 2016 (IST)

This one could need a |party= , for members of parliament etc. Terje (talk) 10:00, 8 July 2022 (UTC)---

Robin, could you add a style guide here for jobs with commas in them, for example "Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Defence Equipment, Support and Technology"? Terje (talk) 06:28, 24 August 2022 (UTC)
