Template:Getfact/doc

Purpose: For template writes, this is a convenient wrapper template that will fetch a single property, setting various #show options automatically.

Compare with: Showfact- this template is for displaying text, and will do various tranformations such as translation into the vernacular by default.

Usage examples: On page Abraham Hunsberger (1786-1860) the following wikitext would produce these results.

Performance note: Semantic MediaWiki exploits the caching mechanism of mediawiki software. Since the article is in memory, queries on its properties have virtually no cost, so a page may use large numbers of these queries without making the page slower.
