(It seems no one replied...) You have very little control over property display in query results (so vote early and often for https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15541 ). So you'll probably have to use format=template | template=My-special-display in your query results, and make Template:My-special-display that adjusts the appearance of the various values it's passed. See <http://semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Inline_queries#Using_templates_for_custom_formatting> (The sad strange thing is this template you use to present query results nicely will probably not be able to share anything with the template you use to display the property values nicely while setting them.) So, if you're storing the property as "Bernadette" and it's the third "column" passed to template=Person-display-tabular , you would do something like [http://info.ldapserver.org/whatever/{{{3}}} {{{3}}}] If you're storing the property as http://info.ldapserver.org/whatever/Bernadette , then you can use string parser functions to trim down what is displayed, like [{{{3}}} {{#replace:{{{3}}}|http://info.ldapserver.org/whatever/ |}}] If you're trying to fiddle with pages and URLs, you should probably pass the option |link=none to #ask , otherwise, pages and URLs will already have been wrapped in square brackets by SMW. If there might be more than one value of the property, you'll probably end up needing the #arraymap parser function from the Semantic Forms extension so you can control the display of each value. http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Releases-test#Templated_query shows an example of a query results template. If you want the query to display the information *exactly* as it's rendered in the original page, you may be able to use format=embed, which just embeds the pages matching the criteria. > Also, we would really like to display the > results of the parser extension ldapinfo > <http://www.sourcecodeonline.com/details/mediawiki_extension__ldap_info.html> > as a property….We are using MediaWiki 1.13.2 and Semantic Mediawiki 1.3. Sorry, I'm not familiar with that extension.
