Maybe it's just me, but I don't really follow this article.

For example, you have:

  • propsep - Separator between the requested properties per page
What are the properties?
  • manysep - Separator between many valued property values
what are many valued property values?

It would also be nice to have some examples on the page.

The reason it's important to me, is becuase I have a query

{{#ask: [[{{FULLPAGENAME}}]]|?has person |link=none |mainlabel=- |headers=hide |format=array |sep=,}}

which results with person one<MANY>person two.

I just feel like I don't have enough context in this article to figure out why it's not giving me a normal array.

The array format is in a way "special". It may very well be that the updates of SMW 3.0 changed the behaviour of this result format. The docu definitively predates that version. Currently I do not have the time to dig into this. Perhaps someone on the mailing list uses the format and would like to help. Also adding examples to the sandbox wiki is always good when requesting help. Prevents swimming in the dry.

Many valued properties are properties of type Record.
