The result format slideshow, part of the Extension "Semantic Result Formats" extension, can be used to display the query result as a slideshow, i.e. showing one element of the result set then switching to the next automatically after a while. Be aware that this format only works on JavaScript enabled browsers.

Users of MediaWiki 1.26 and later need to update to version 2.4.2 and later of extension "Semantic Result Formats"Provides additional formats for semantic queries1 to be able to continue using this result format. A fix was required due to a formerly required dependency which was removed from MediaWiki.2
