Where can I find a template for creating a table? I want to make one over all nationality=Norwegian nationality=Norway and constitutes=editor and constitutes=journalist constitutes=Media owner Terje (talk)
- THe first place I thought of is Template:SMWDocs, since this includes a whole bunch of tables. There is for example Template:Nationals. However, these are all using Template:SMWDocSection, so perhaps that is a better place to start. From the code:
{{ask
|format=table
|limit={{{limit|}}}
|sort={{{sort|}}}
|order={{{order|}}}
|expression={{{expression|}}}
|mainlabel={{{mainlabel|}}}
|properties={{{properties|}}}
|headers={{{headers|}}}}}
}}
This is using Template:ask, which I worked hard on to make flexible enough for most purposes. It has a not very widely used yet syntax of '/' as separators for the properties and headers fields. The plain vanilla table looks like this:
| Norwegian Editors |
|---|
| Kjetil Alstadheim |
| Trine Eilertsen |
| Torolf Elster |
| Thor Gjermund Eriksen |
| Einar Førde |
| Rolf Gerhardsen |
| Per Egil Hegge |
| Helge Seip |
| Hanne Skartveit |
| Nils Udgaard |
| Hans Vatne |
| Dagfinn Vårvik |
The source code for that table looks like this: {{ask
{{ask
|format=table
|limit=
|sort=
|order=
|expression=[[Constitutes::Editor]][[Has nationality::Norway]]
|mainlabel=Norwegian Editors
|properties=
|headers=
}}
Note that SMW understands all words as equivalent if they redirect to the same page, so [[Has nationality::Norway OR Has nationality::Norwegian]] is unneeded. So the first start at the table you're looking for is:
This has source: {{ask
{{ask
|format=table
|limit=
|sort=
|order=
|expression=[[Constitutes::Editor]][[Has nationality::Norway]] OR [[Constitutes::Editor]][[Has nationality::Media mogul]] OR [[Constitutes::Journalist]][[Has nationality::Norway]] OR [[Constitutes::Publisher]][[Has nationality::Norway]]
|mainlabel=Norwegian media players
|properties=
|headers=
}}
The next step is to decide what which columns the table should have, which is expressed as |headers and |properties. These use the '/'-separated list syntax used for |key_properties and |key_property_headers, for example at the "Lone nut" page.
Hmmmm, that table does not appear to have a 'description' comunon the preview. I wonder whether it will if I save it? -- Robin (talk) 19:29, 4 July 2023 (UTC)
