The snicdocs wiki uses the [http://semantic-mediawiki.org semantic mediawiki] extension, which enables nifty things like dynamic generation of lists, tables and mashups based on tagged data in ordinary wiki pages. The annotation is unobtrusive, e.g:
 
−
 
 
−
: I am competent with <nowiki>[[expertise::Python]]</nowiki>.
 
−
 
 
−
to note that this page (or rather the person described by this page) is competent in Python. The search/generate syntax is equally straightforward
 
−
 
 
−
: <nowiki>{{#ask: [[Category:Software]] [[Category:Bioinformatics]] |?centre }}</nowiki>
 
−
 
 
−
However, we must not let nomenclature run rampant and diverge (see: the problem with the semantic web). See [[#Naming protocol|naming protocol]] below.

In case the examples appear in red, or if you see similar broken links with double colons in them in other places on the wiki, '''''do not edit the links'''''. They appear because you have happened to come across the pages before we have managed to install the semantic mediawiki extension properly on our production server. This problem should disappear very shortly, and if it persists beyond your definition of shortly, it may help to edit the page, do nothing, and click save, to prod mediawiki to regenerate the links. If nothing works, please notify [[User:Joel Hedlund (NSC)]].
