Help:Property links

Property links, i.e. linking to property pages can be achieved with regular links, e. g.  creates the link Property:Population. Since there is an easier way to achieve this using a "no-value annotation". This way a link to a property page can be created that is independent of the language setting.

Creating property links with wiki-text in templates (e.g. for semantic infoboxes or forms) require some additional work, if they are to display tooltips with auto-property descriptions, or to change their preferred label based on user language. For that reason, the special syntax  was introduced in CiteRef::gh:smw:1855 to generate a full featured property link for "Foo" property.

Note
If the  flag is removed from, property links will no longer render as tooltips.CiteRef::gh:smw:3562 Instead they will appear as plain links to the property.
