Special properties (declarative)

From semantic-mediawiki.org

This help page lists the declarative special properties. Declarative special properties are used to define or declare the behaviour of properties on their properties pages, i.e. they can only be used in namespace "Property". Starting with Semantic MediaWiki 3.0.0Released on 11 October 2018 and compatible with MW 1.27.0 - 1.31.x. error messages1 will be issued if a declarative special property is used in other namespaces than that.2
