This is unusual in being the subject of another document, so it would make a good test case for a checking and revising how SMW deals with documents. If the document about this one doesn't appear, it'll likely be because of the "File:" prefix confusing the code. Currently, the WS SMW code is slightly inconsistent in how it deals with this, so it could use some rationalization. [[User:Robin|Robin]] ([[User talk:Robin|talk]]) 03:42, 3 July 2015 (IST)

SMW and Documents

This is unusual in being the subject of another document, so it would make a good test case for a checking and revising how SMW deals with documents. If the document about this one doesn't appear, it'll likely be because of the "File:" prefix confusing the code. Currently, the WS SMW code is slightly inconsistent in how it deals with this, so it could use some rationalization. Robin (talk) 03:42, 3 July 2015 (IST)
