$smwgQComparators is a configuration parameter that sets the list of comparator characters supported by queries for use in a regex. The parameter was introduced in Semantic MediaWiki 1.0.0.

If unsupported comparators are used, they are treated as part of the queried value. The behaviour of the comparators < and > varies depending on the setting for configuration parameter $smwStrictComparatorsSets whether the ">" and "<" comparators should be strict.

Default setting[edit]

$smwgQComparators = <|>|!~|!|~|≤|≥|<<|>>;

The default setting allows all available comparators.

Changing the default setting[edit]

The available features are combined in a list, separated by a pipe "|". Example:

Do not allow extended ASCII character comparators

$smwgQComparators = <|>|!~|!|~|<<|>>;

Note: This cannot be combined with strict comparators enabled.

Available comparators[edit]

< (smaller than or equal)
> (greater than or equal)
<< (smaller than)
>> (greater than)
≤ (smaller than or equal - note that this is an extended ASCII character and may show up differently, e.g. as "â¤")
≥ (greater than or equal - note that this also is an extended ASCII character and may show up like "â¥")
! (unequal to)
~ (matching a pattern with "*" as wildcard, only for datatype "Text" and "Page")
!~ (not matching a pattern with "*" as wildcard, only for datatype "Text" and "Page")
