You can make use of the VariablesExtension [1] and store the query (or its
result? I'd like to know which one, but in the end it doesn't really matter) in
a variable, which is helpful when you need the same query multiple times within
a page. It looks like this:
{{ #vardefine: some_variable_name | {{#show:{{PAGENAME}}| ?propertyname}} }}
(silent) or
{{ #vardefineecho: some_variable_name | {{#show:{{PAGENAME}}| ?propertyname}} }} (with output)
Further down in the page you can write
{{ #var: some_variable_name }}

Data design

- Create a top category for Semantic Classes. I called mine 'Categories'. 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.


MW tricks

Variables

You can make use of the VariablesExtension [1] and store the query (or its result? I'd like to know which one, but in the end it doesn't really matter) in a variable, which is helpful when you need the same query multiple times within a page. It looks like this:


(silent) or

 (with output)

Further down in the page you can write


Specific searches

 
  <inputbox>
  type=search
  width=30
  namespaces=Help**,Wikipedia**,Template** 
  searchbuttonlabel=Search help pages
  bgcolor=#cee0f2
  break=no
  </inputbox>
