Cleaning SMW Data

There must be ways to remove these unused properites - if needs be, using SQL queries. A higher level way is preferable of course, so possibly from Special:SMWAdmin. If that doesn't do it, it might be worth reading http://semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Repairing_SMW%27s_data. Robin (talk) 12:23, 13 December 2013 (GMT)

That was my initial reaction on seeing them too, but inquiries to the SMW mailing list brought several replies from people with the same problem and none from the SMW admins/gurus with a possible solution - other than direct SQL querying with phpMyAdmin. I will have a good look at the 'repairing data' pages again though because site SMW functionality is bound to be compromised to some degree by still using 'Data Store 1'. What I have learned from the SMW list and site posts to date is that the SMW user-base is much smaller than I previously thought.

Down side is have little time for non-geeks with what they probably see as elementary problems outside genuine and obvious bugs - of which there are many - but usually promptly fixed. --Peter P (talk) 13:12, 13 December 2013 (GMT)

Namespaces

How about using more namespaces to differentiate page subjects?

  Namespace     Mandatory  Template     Semantic  Form   Use
document: Template:DocProv Form:Document 3rd Party Publications
book: Template:Book Form:Book Articles about books
person: Template:Person Form:Person Articles about people
event: Template:Event Form:Event Articles about events

I like the semantic forms - a good help to people to create semantic data.
