↓ INFO ↓
The result format category is used to format query results in the manner of MediaWiki's category pages.
Semantic MediaWiki 2.2.0 brought several improvements to this result format:
- It now adheres to the
$wgCategoryCollationconfiguration setting meaning that the sorting of the pages will be done according to the collation set for the wiki.1 - Also when adding the page's group headers the previously used "h3" element was replaced with a "div" element utilising the same CSS properties. Thus these headers do no longer interfere with generation or suppression of tables of content e.g. with the
__TOC__or__NOTOC__behaviour switches.2 - The "named args" parameter was introduced allowing e.g. to change formatting
Note: The page sorting behaviour of SMW and MW differ when it comes to pages containing the "defaultsort" magic word ({{DEFAULTSORT:sortkey}}) or not. When using this result format a page containing the mentioned magic word takes precedence when sorting before a page not containing it.3
