Wikispooks:Semantic Objects

Underpinning WikiSpooks' use of Semantic Mediawiki is a set of objects. None of these are complete as yet. The plan is to create templates first, then forms.

Object Templates

Most object templates share a common structure. Custom Wikispooks template code silently sets the Semantic Properties (eventually, almost all parameters will have a corresponding property) and then calls an infobox template from Wikipedia to display the information. These are lightly customised, e.g. to add a few extra parameters, such as |wikipedia.
