Latest revision as of 03:42, 14 December 2017
Have a look at Elidor Campbell, a hndis page. The second one had two partners, but the column combines them (including the plus sign) and says there's no such page, which is true but highly misleading.
I don't think it matters much, because people wanting that Elidor will probably go straight to his page, where his long-secret high-society mistress is blue-linked and all will be well.
But if there is an easy fix I'd like to see it.

- This has always been a problem with displaying Property:Joined_with directly (as we fight with SMW about the role of a comma). I fixed the most obvious example, {{showfacts children}} long since, though I think this is still a spurious extra line in it. However there are still various places where the display is broken:
- the "namesake" table on a "person" page
- tables on the "bdm" subpages
- tables on the "hndis" pages
- There may be others I haven't remembered. My suggested solution is to define a new Property:Joined_with_display, which will convert a "Joined_with" value (eg of Abraham ben Terah) of Sarah+Hagar+Keturah to
- "[[Sarah]]<br>[[Hagar]]<br>[[Keturah]]"
- to display as
- "Sarah
Hagar
Keturah"
- "Sarah
- Then change the tables to use the new properties. The computatoin of the new property would be in {{showfacts person}} Thurstan (talk) 19:22, December 13, 2017 (UTC)
