Help talk:Array format

Is the template intended to be commented out
Is the template intended to be commented out in the section Parameters? Thanks. --Linforest 05:51, 13 March 2012 (CET)


 * At the time this help page was written, #smwdoc was not yet available for this result format. It works in the meantime, but so far #smwdoc has some shortcomings which I believe need to be adressed first when it comes to this format: See here for some improvements what need to be done.

sep parameter working all right?
Hi, it seems that the 'sep' parameter is not doing anything. Could that indeed be the case?

... in a way most suitable for further processing by MediaWiki templates or parser functions
If I understand this correctly, you can use a template to post-process the query. For instance, if property values contain commas, you can use the array format to separate the results with symbols other than commas (e.g. using semi-colons) and the template format to process the results. For instance:

Yet there is nothing in the documentation about templates and I haven't succeeded to make it work either. If something else is meant by the lede, then please rephrase. Cavila 11:26, 18 May 2012 (CEST)
 * I just found out that the array format, even if it works, is not actually necessary for the function I just outlined. In fact, the process that once involved delimiting results and using arraymap in a template to define a new separator appears to have changed in ways I don't yet grasp.

 * This has nothing to do with the template parameter. The sentence just says that the format is very handy for having a query result in a format suitable for templates. Templates would just have to deal with arrays rather than doing a lot of string magic. --Danwe (talk) 20:30, 17 October 2012 (CEST)
