In case the incoming links are not shown by default a link labeled "Show properties that link here" is displayed allowing to manually show the properties after clicking on it. Conversely if the incoming links are shown by default a link labeled "Hide properties that link here" is shown allowing to manually hide the properties after clicking on it.

No longer functional as of Semantic MediaWiki 7.0.0Released on 4 June 2026 and compatible with MW 1.43.x - 1.46.x..
