Forum:Semantic

Hello,

I have a question about #ask and the effect that Redirects have on the results. We are recording details for the MMORPG http://istaria.wikia.com/ and have several pages that redirect to the one central page. For example the abilities:


 * Instant Heal I
 * Instant Heal II
 * Instant Heal III
 * Instant Heal IV and
 * Instant Heal V

all redirect to the page


 * Instant Heal

because only the amount of health healed changes - everything else is the same. Each page has a Category:Ability.

If we have an #ask Semantic query to list all Category:Ability pages, we get the following list:


 * Instant Heal
 * Instant Heal
 * Instant Heal
 * Instant Heal
 * Instant Heal
 * Instant Heal

I assume because of the redirects on the other pages. Is it possible to get Semantic wiki to *not* show page redirects? The property type is Page BTW.

Thanks!

 * In SMW, redirects are considered equal to the pages they point to. The redirects are also categorized under Category:Ability right? You may have to remove the category in each of the redirects. Or, replace the redirect with some content. -- ko イsuru ( talk ) 14:57, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Another feasible nice option is to transform the page "Instant Heal" in a template on the other pages by doing, the important thing to do for templates located on the main namespan is the ":" at the start of the template so that way you can have all the heal pages with the content of Instant Heal and appear properly --
