A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PASADENA, CALIFORNIA SUPPORTING THE PROTECTION OF CIVIL LIBERTIES AND OPPOSING CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF THE USA PATRIOT ACT


http://help.wikia.com/wiki/Help:Semantic_MediaWiki/Tips_and_tricks
'''WHEREAS''', the City of Pasadena denounces terrorism, and expresses its gratitude to and support for those who defend us from terrorism and terrorist attacks - the men and women serving in our armed forces, federal, state and local law enforcement officers, firefighters, and health services professionals; and


http://semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/Image:SMW_quick_reference.pdf
'''WHEREAS''' the City of Pasadena is proud of its commitment to protecting civil rights and
liberties as expressed in both the Constitution of the United States, and the Constitution of the State of California which so many have made grave sacrifices to protect, and which have been preserved only through constant vigilance and by public outcry when threats have arisen, and

'''WHEREAS''' the preservation of those civil rights and liberties is not only essential to the
well-being of a democratic society, but is an intrinsic defining characteristic of our free and democratic nation; and


== Data design ==
'''WHEREAS''', it is the responsibility of the City of Pasadena to protect the rights and liberties of
our citizens; and


http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Semantic_Forms#Data_design_issues
'''WHEREAS''', the City of Pasadena recognizes that an infringement of the constitutionally guaranteed rights of any person is a breach of the public trust, and a violation of civil rights; and


- Create a top category for Semantic Classes. I called mine 'Categories'.
'''WHEREAS''', the USA Patriot Act (acronym for "Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism") passed quickly in the wake of the horrific September 11th terrorist attacks against our country and was signed into law by President George W. Bush on October 26, 2001; and
It holds only categories used to define a 'Is-a' relationship. Doing so has
at least two benefits : 1- You can do a query on your core content by
restricting it to the 'Categories' level. 2- You can define other
categories outside of that structure for whatever your system needs.

'''WHEREAS''', the enactment of the Patriot Act has since given new, far-reaching powers to both
domestic law enforcement and international intelligence agencies while simultaneously hampering the
oversight ability of the courts to ensure that these powers will not be abused; and


Redirects can be used to create property synonyms.
'''WHEREAS''' certain provisions of the USA Patriot Act and related executive orders, regulations
and actions adopted since September 11, 2001 threaten fundamental rights and liberties by:


== Discussion ==
(A) Authorizing the indefinite incarceration of non-citizens based on mere suspicion, and the indefinite incarceration of citizens designated by the President as enemy combatants without access to counsel or meaningful recourse to the federal courts;


Categories can be hierarchical; properties can't (yet).
(B) Limiting the traditional authority of federal courts to curb law enforcement abuse of electronic
surveillance in anti-terrorism investigations and ordinary criminal investigations;


When to use categories vs properties?
(C) Expanding the authority of federal agents to conduct so-called sneak and peek searches, in which the subject of the search warrant is unaware that his property has been searched;


== MW tricks ==
(D) Granting law enforcement and intelligence agencies broad access to personal medical, financial,
library and education records with little, if any, judicial oversight;


If you want to clear out old pages you can delete them and use

a variable, which is helpful when you need the same query multiple times within
a page. It looks like this:


<nowiki>{{ #vardefine: some_variable_name | {{#show:{{PAGENAME}}| ?propertyname}} }}

{{ #vardefineecho: some_variable_name | {{#show:{{PAGENAME}}| ?propertyname}} }} (with output)</nowiki>


Further down in the page you can write
'''IT IS FURTHER RESOLVED''' that the City of Pasadena:

(A) Supports legislation to repeal provisions in the USA Patriot Act and related Executive Orders that
violate the Constitution of the United States and the civil rights and civil liberties of individuals;

(B) Transmit a copy of this Resolution to Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, and appropriate members of the State Legislature, accompanied by a letter urging them to ensure that state anti-terrorism laws and policies be implemented in a manner that does not infringe on civil liberties as described in this
Resolution; and

(C) Transmit a copy of this Resolution to President George W. Bush and United States Attorney
 
General John Ashcroft.
<nowiki>[[Went past deadline::{{#expr:{{{End date|}}}>{{{Deadline|}}} }}]]</nowiki>
 
=== Hiding set data ===
 
  <nowiki>[[propertyA::{{{propertyA|}}}|]]</nowiki>
 
By adding the | after the enclosing }}}, the property value will not show.
 
For multi value properties:
 
  <nowiki>{{#arraymap:{{{Eating disorders behaviors|}}}|,|x|[[Eating disorders behaviors::x|]]}}</nowiki>
 
(why not just use #set?)
 
=== Protecting #ask results ===
 
(from Markus Kr?tzsch)
 
* make a new property "has checked" of type page,
* make and a new page "main page news editor" (or whatever) and protect this page just like your main page,
* add an entry <nowiki>[[has checked::some page]]</nowiki> on "main page news editor" for every page that the editor has found to be okay to make it on the main page news feed,
* extend your #ask query on the main page with the condition <nowiki>[[-has
checked::main page news editor]]</nowiki>.
 
... Note that you can also have a group of editors with separate (protected)
pages. You can also work with categories of editors for different topics etc.
Of course, this is no longer a spam protection since categories are not
protected either, but you can use another level of "has checked" to have a
master editor who checks other editors to grant them trust. All of this
readily works with subqueries+inverses. Applying similar methods but without
actually protecting any pages maybe still be useful for managing feeds
together in cases where spam is not a major issue.
 
== Misc ==
 
=== Enable links in property values ===
 
$smwgLinksInValues = true;
 
=== Must add namespaces to config ===
 
Otherwise they won't have semantic properties.
 
$smwgNamespacesWithSemanticLinks array
 
== Multi language SMW ==
 
=== Creationwiki ===
 
(From Temlakos on the mailing list regarding http://creationwiki.org/ and http://creationwiki.org/fr/)
 
Here's how I do it: As I have said many times before, I routinely
declare all properties. And every declaration that is implemented in
both languages, has the language-specific Interwiki prefix added, so
that you can follow a property declaration from one language to the
other and back.
 
All that is involved is making parallel property declarations and
placing Interwiki language links in each one.
 
In general: a multilingual wiki is actually a family of wikis, each set
up in its own language.
 
The important part is to make sure that the SMW language files exist in
each language in which you are planning to implement SMW. Right now the
language support is a little thin, in comparison to the incredible
multiplicity of languages on Wikipedia. So those of you who are trying
to persuade Wikipedia to implement SMW across their project will have an
immediate problem: you don't support more than a handful of the
languages they use.
 
...
anyone who implements SMW in an unsupported language is going to have to
write a language file. And make sure that his language is supported in
SMW_Aliases.php and SMW_Messages.php.
 
=== HKp wiki ===
 
'HKp wiki' is  a bilingual (potentially multilingual) spanish-catalan
wiki in the same installation.
http://enlloc.net/hkp/w
 
I'm using Polyglot extension [1] to redirect to appropriate language
pages depending on the browser language settings or the user wiki
settings.
 
I'm using Language Selector extension for providing a language
selector for every page in the sidebar.
 
I wanted to use the Multilang extension for changing the language in
pages and forms depending on the user settings. But unfortunately this
extension don't work in MW higher of 1.10.
 
Alternatively I'm using the [http://enlloc.net/hkp/w/index.php/Plantilla:International <nowiki>{{international}}nowiki> template]. It is useful
for pages and templates but not for forms because it need a
<nowiki>{{SUBPAGENAME}}</nowiki> with language code (/ca, /es, /en, /fr, /pt, ...).
 
I'm using [http://enlloc.net/hkp/w/index.php/Plantilla:Entrada_Wlog my own code in templates] to show or hide a "translation
button" depending if the translation page exist or not:
 
  <nowiki>{{#ifeq:{{SUBPAGENAME}}|es|
{{exists | page={{NAMESPACE}}:{{BASEPAGENAME}}/ca | then= | else=
<p style="margin-top:2em; color: rgb(100, 100, 100)">'''Traducci?n'''<br>[[Categoria:Per traduir al Castell?]]
<small>Esta p?gina a?n no est? en catal?n. Quieres colaborar a traducirla?</small></p>
{{#formlink:Entrada Wlog traduir ca|Traducir al catal?n|button|
preload={{FULLPAGENAME}}&Gesti? traduccions[p?gina
original]={{BASEPAGENAME}}&Entrada Wlog[llengua entrada]=es&namespace=Wlog }}
}}
}}</nowiki>
 
Right now I have not solution for having only one form for all
languages. What is annoying.
