On the Dixwell Dossier, [1] another website I'm now actively maintaining on
Referata, I'm having a bit of a problem.
Some time ago, I created a property, "Area code", [2] specifically for the
infobox used with that site's Place profiles. [3] (This property has the type
String.) Querying with it on [[Special:Ask]] will give me the correct results:
for example, [[Area code::+1-767]] will display all places in Dominica; [[Area
code::+1-647]] returns Toronto, its suburbs, and home province Ontario; and so
on.
But when those same properties appear through [[Special:BrowseData/Places]],
something unfathomable happens: Whenever I select an area code from the
Drilldown menu, it will show me a list of *almost every single place that has
the "Area code" property*—nearly all of such profiles created so far! [4] Not
even removing the plus sign ( + ) in front of the code seems to resolve this.
[5] (Roseau is the only page that's managed to avert this, thanks to the
Unicode phone symbol before it: ☎ 1-767.)
Maybe it's because use of the "+" conflicts with the default Drilldown
settings? (I actually wrote that down in my notes a few days ago [and I quote
from the original index card]: "Maybe + sign in AC: +1-xxx conflicts with
Drilldown code, as do any numbers that start [string] values". Maybe, but I
can't be quite sure at this moment.)
Well, I'm a bit stuck, and I may hold off adding more places to the Dossier
until this issue is attended to. From here, I have two possible ideas:
1) Change the property type into Text, or maybe Number. (Tried "Telephone
number" some minutes ago, but area codes of this format are NOT accepted by
this type.)
2) Readjust the {{#arraymap}} code in the property's Place infobox field, [6]
so that I may get something like ☎ 1-xxx, ☎ +1-xxx, or (1) xxx to satisfy the
Drilldown syntax or whatever.
Folks, can you help me out—and fast? And who else has experienced this problem
on some other Referata/SMW wiki? (I'd like to get some hints.)
Kind of urgent here!
P.S. I've got another semantic bug on the way tomorrow.
