Properties and #ask queries

RoB wiki uses the Semantic MediaWiki extension. This adds some additional feature to the basic Mediawiki like the Property and #ask features. One down side is that Semantic annotations need to be enables for a given Mediawiki name-space to be able to set Properties in the pages in that name-space.

Current rundown on Semantic annotations per name-space (--.MvGulik. 23:47, 30 November 2017 (EST))

Enabled on:

User
Ring of Brodgar.
Ring of Brodgar talk. (seems special case)(still off on discussion pages)
File (image)
Category
Type

Not enabled on:

Talk (Main talk) ... same on all talk/discussion pages in all parent name-spaces.
MediaWiki
Template
Help
Legacy ... ie: no setting of Properties and not returning pages from this name-space in #ask queries.

Unsure:

Property
Concept

The workaround, when needed (mainly for page administration purposes) is to use Categories and the Category-list pages.
