While helping someone with their question about querying for categories in
#semantic-mediawiki, I told the asker that it could only be done if the
category were stored as a property. "Saruman" corrected me to say that category
information can in fact be obtained in queries simply by querying for ?Category
like this:

{{#ask: [[somepage]] | ?Category}}

This works even though Category is not a built-in semantic property like
Modification date is. I was unable to find any documentation for this, but he
explained:

<Saruman> badon: category is the SMW translation of the semantic "class" object
<Saruman> see
http://semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Displaying_information#Printing_categories

I asked if there were other things in the list contained in this bug report
that can be obtained via queries, despite not being built in properties, and if
there is documentation of it. He said:

[14:45:13] <Saruman> badon: I once wrote a primer on semantics that explained
that, but some people wanted that deleted from the SMW site

So, there may be parts of this bug report that are currently doable, but have
had their documentation deleted. I don't understand what an "SMW translation"
is. If someone knows, and can explain that, I can research it further. 

If Saruman's documentation has survived somewhere, please make it accessible
here:
