             Bug #: 41870
           Summary: parser function #ask / adding additional query
                    parameters to manipulate further results on
                    Special:Ask
           Product: MediaWiki extensions
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: Semantic MediaWiki
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [email protected]

    Classification: Unclassified
   Mobile Platform: ---


The behaviour for showing further results changed in SMW 1.7. Now the value
from parameter "limit" is used as an offset to show further results.
Additionally this value is now also used as the number of further results to be
shown initially on Special:Ask. Before the offset on Special:Ask was at 0 with
20 results initially shown.

This leads to two possible usability enhancements:
1) "continue" - parameter to set the offset for results on Special:Ask // This
one is not too important and it would be a bit contradictory when thinking of
further results. Basically this on would be like "offset" but just for
Special:Ask.
2) "number" - parameter to set the number of results shown on Special:Ask //
This one is more useful especially for queries with a small limit below 5 and
heaps of further results. This would help avoiding an extra click on one of the
selectable numbers on Special:Ask. Basically this one would be like "limit" but
just for Special:Ask.

Hmm..., this bug is more about enhancement 2)
