Table of Contents

The parser function #set allows the author to set a piece of data.

So on the page for Paris, they may be:

{{#set:population=12,000,000
|country=France
|mayor=Pierre Lala
}}

This parser function actually does not return anything, but saves the very same properties as data as a [[population::12,000,000]] and [[country::France]] would have. Or, put in other words: some wikis are using something like

[[country::France| ]]

at the end of the article to hide an annotation but still make it. No need for that anymore, you can just use #set.

With #set, annotating data gets as easy as the PersonenDaten on the German Wikipedia. If you want to, you can get rid of the [[property::value]] syntax completely.
