Queryable fields on a Form based Page

Creating a new form based page

The great majority of MarineLives wiki pages are structured as form based Pages, which are grouped into Volumes.

Wiki users with editorial privileges can create new pages and new volumes using the appropriate buttons in the vertical sidebar.

Form based pages contain a number of standard fields as defined by the form.

All these pre-defined fields are queryable using Special:Ask semantic queries.

The pre-defined fields are as follows:

Parent volume
Folio
Side
Status
First transcriber
First transcribed
Editorial history
Note
Transcription image
Transcription
Language
English translation
People
Places
Ships
Materials
Primary sources
