SMW Silently Ignores #set on Template: Namespace Pages

Symptom: Admin Page Status fields display correctly and store correctly in Cargo, but never appear in Special:Browse or SMW queries — specifically and only on pages in the Template: namespace (e.g. Template:Admin Page Status/doc, Template:GameModule/doc).

Cause: SMW's `$smwgNamespacesWithSemanticLinks` configuration excludes the Template namespace by default. `#set` calls are silently no-ops there — no error, no warning, just nothing stored.

Fix: Set `$smwgNamespacesWithSemanticLinks[NS_TEMPLATE] = true;` in LocalSettings.php, then purge affected pages.

How it was found: Bisection — confirmed the template itself worked (fresh test page, main namespace, succeeded), then narrowed by testing the identical block across pages in different namespaces until the pattern (Template: fails, everywhere else works) became visible. Content length, field names, and phrasing were all red herrings ruled out along the way. Sovereign (talk) 05:10, 16 July 2026 (EDT)Reply

Reviewer: Sovereign Review Type: Self-Assessment

Summary of Changes

  • Changed `Known Site Issues & Fixes` to `Talk:Known Site Issues & Fixes` in both links, attempting to fix a known failure on `Template:` namespace pages (where `PAGENAME` strips the namespace prefix, causing links to resolve incorrectly).
  • This fix did not work. Root cause remains unidentified after this attempt.
  • Added an explicit, permanent warning: this template must not be used on pages in the `Template:` namespace.
  • Added a breadcrumb pointing to Known Site Issues & Fixes for tracking and future investigation.

instrument_grade / validation

No change to overall page rating from this pass — this is a known, disclosed limitation, not a hidden defect. Rated per standing Admin Page Status block; this specific issue is tracked separately as an open technical item, not folded into content confidence.

Open Items

  • Root cause of `Template:` namespace failure remains unknown. See Known Site Issues & Fixes for the tracked entry.
  • Do not attempt further fixes without first checking whether this is related to the earlier-resolved SMW namespace issue, or something distinct.
