Help:Input assistance

introduced an entity suggesterCiteRef::gh:smw:2696CiteRef::gh:smw:2699CiteRef::gh:smw:2756 for some registered input fields to increase search efficiency and accuracy during the annotation process and improve the overall editing experience by providing an input assistance.

Features and limitations
Input assistance is available for:
 * The query condition input field on ,
 * the description field on special page "Upload",
 * the search input field on special page "Search" if the "SMWSearch" feature is enabled and
 * the page edit textarea

Support for this feature is only available for users that have set the appropriate user preference.

Usage
The suggestion box will only appear when an appropriate context marker (e.g. ) and a prefix condition (i.e.   as common prefix) is available at the same time to avoid arbitrary searches on non related text inputs.

The default context marker (or token) that the entity suggester uses to identify what type of entity is being requested have been defined by:
 * prefix  for property suggestions,
 * prefix  for category suggestions and
 * prefix  for concept suggestions.

It should be noted that when only the prefix, e.g.  is entered the suggester will remain silent and not activate due to a missing prefix condition.

The page edit textarea has two additional methods on how to active a suggestion box,   and   as prefix combination with   to ease the selection of a property instance while annotating with the   parser function,   parser function, or as part of a printout declaration.
