Configuration[edit]

Provided by Semantic MediaWiki[edit]

  1. configuration parameter $smwgNamespacesWithSemanticLinksDefines for which namespaces the semantic links and annotations are to be evaluated - Allows to set which namespaces Semantic MediaWiki should use
  2. configuration parameter $smwgNamespaceIndexSets the index of the first namespace to be used by Semantic MediaWiki - Allows to set the indexes for namespaces for usage by Semantic MediaWiki
  3. configuration parameter $smwgHistoricTypeNamespaceSets whether the namespaces "Type" and "Type talk" can be accessed - Allows to set whether the "Type" namespaces are accessible

Provided by MediaWiki[edit]

Starting with Semantic MediaWiki 2.5.0Released on 14 March 2017 and compatible with MW 1.23.0 - 1.29.x. the namespaces "Property" and "Concept" are automatically added to the following two configuration parameters which are provided by MediaWiki itself.6

1. configuration parameter $wgContentNamespaces (MediaWiki.org) - Allows to set which namespaces are to be acknowledged as containing useful content
NoteNote:
  • If you are upgrading from Semantic MediaWiki 2.4.x and earlier you may want to run maintenance script "updateArticleCount.php" (MediaWiki.org) to update the statistics displayed on special page "Statistics".
  • If you do not want the two namespaces mentioned to be recognized as content namespaces you will have to explicitly set this configuration parameter in you "LocalSettings.php" file after the inclusion of Semantic MediaWiki.
2. configuration parameter $wgNamespacesToBeSearchedDefault (MediaWiki.org) - Allows to set which namespaces are enabled for searching by default
NoteNote: If you do not want the two namespaces mentioned to be searched by default you will have to explicitly set this configuration parameter in you "LocalSettings.php" file after the inclusion of Semantic MediaWiki.

When also using Wikibase[edit]

Both extension "Wikibase" (MediaWiki.org) and extension Semantic MediaWiki add a namespace called "Property". This results in a conflict that must be resolved by renaming either the Wikibase property namespace or the Semantic MediaWiki property namespace. Here we describe how to rename the Semantic MediaWiki property namespace.7 To do this add the following code to your "LocalSettings.php" file after the inclusion of Semantic MediaWiki and Wikibase.

$wgExtensionFunctions[] = function() {
    $GLOBALS['wgExtraNamespaces'][SMW_NS_PROPERTY] = 'smw/property';
    $GLOBALS['wgExtraNamespaces'][SMW_NS_PROPERTY_TALK] = 'smw/property_talk';
};
You may also rename the Wikibase property namespace.8
