           Summary: Support parameters to control details of query printouts
           Product: MediaWiki extensions
           Version: any
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: ASSIGNED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: Normal
         Component: Semantic MediaWiki
        AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


SMW supports the printout of additional data for each result of a semantic
query. However, there are hardly any means to control the appearance of those
printouts (e.g. to set a limit of values to be displayed, or to define the
separator to be used). 

To allow more control of this part of query display, someone needs to propose
how the user should enter these additional details. The current syntax of
printouts is:

?property#unit = label

where the "#unit" and " = label" parts are optional. "property" could also be a
category or other type of input. The problem is that this general form already
precludes the use of most symbols. For instance, you could no write

?property (limit=10)

to set a limit for the results of this printout, since it is possible that a
property page really is called "property (limit=10)". Until there is a proposal
for this, no progress on allowing more parameters can be made.
