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.
Objects On WikiSpooks
All new pages in the main: namespace should have exactly one object template. The table below lista the possible templates:
| Object
|
SMW Template
|
Infobox Template
|
Form
|
Notes
|
Book
|
Template:Book
|
Template:Infobox book
|
Form:Book
|
Make this a sub-object of Document?
|
| Concept
|
Template:Concept
|
None
|
Form:Concept
|
The least complete object so far. This is a catch all, so if no other template seems to fit, use this one.
|
| Document
|
Template:Document
|
None
|
Form:Document
|
The most complete object so far, although the template has evolved and still contains some legacy code.

Template:Event

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.
