Max tells us that this design decision is intended to make it easier for the user. I have no doubt that many users will find this to be the case.
Other users may agree that the intended benefit has some advantages, but on balance would prefer a different design decision. I'm one of those. Which is why different tools will emerge with different design decisions. As it should be.

Hi, the overall question seems to be how a semantic wiki creates triples. Of course, technically, one could create triples everywhere. Not allowing this in Semantic MediaWiki has two reasons: 1) (the important reason) Make it easier for the user. One has not to think in triples, annotated links is enough. Even better: whenever a search result brings page X up, but one is courious why, it's enough to go to page X and look there. There can be no ohter place where a wrong triple about X can be made. 2) (the tiny reason) It's easier to handle. Whenever a user edits a page X, semantic mediawiki simply removes all triples (X,*,*), parses the page and adds triples as needed. A paper about possible ways to create annotations from wiki pages (the design space) is here [1] [1] http://ontoworld.org/wiki/Annotation_and_Navigation_in_Semantic_Wikis Kind Regards, Max -- Max Völkel http://Xam.de FZI Forschungszentrum Informatik http://www.FZI.de an der Universität Karlsruhe telephone: +49-721-9654-0 Haid-und-Neu-Str. 10-14 fax: +49-721-9654-959 D-76131 Karlsruhe Stiftung des bürgerlichen Rechts.
