             Bug #: 30628
           Summary: Modification date meta property should optionally
                    appear in the factbox
           Product: MediaWiki extensions
           Version: any
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: Semantic MediaWiki
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [email protected]
                CC: [email protected], [email protected]
    Classification: Unclassified


This was distilled from this bug here:

https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29988

Semantic mediawiki is receiving many requests for meta properties, such as
these:

* Page name
* Page categories
* Page templates
* Page forms
* Page number of edits
* Page number of links outbound
* Page number of links inbound
* Page size
* Page number of views
* Page modification date - already implemented
* Page creation date
* Page creator
* Page editors 
* Page last editor
* User registration date
* User number of edits

It has been decided that these requests should go into an extension:

https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=30610

However, there is one meta property that currently exists - the "Modification
date" meta property. Meta properties do not currently appear in the factbox,
and this bug report is being opened to request that they do appear in the
factbox. 

But, since there could potentially be many meta properties, displaying them in
the factbox probably needs to be optional. I don't think each meta property
needs to be individually controlled so long as they are added by an extension.
Presumably the extension would allow the user to configure what meta properties
to use. If the meta properties ever end up in the SMW core (I suspect they
eventually will), then finer control over them may be warranted - or not, we'll
see.

For now, this bug report is only requesting that metaproperties be optionally
displayed, or not, in the SMW factbox.
