About
This is an experiment to see if Semantic MediaWiki can be used to mark up a structured debate in a way that moves us closer to an automated interface.
Status
- (major problem) No apparent way to suppress calling a template even when there are no results. "default=" adds text if no results, does not suppress template.
- (minor problem) SMW's penchant for making all values (except numerically-oriented) into links to nonexistent wiki pages is annoying, but can probably be worked around.
- Will need some way to progressively increase depth for each level of argument. Can we mix SMW output with raw HTML from w3tpl? If not, can we pass a counter and increment it inside the template? Will MW complain about template recursion?
- Will need some way to show different icon for "pro" and "con" points. Maybe we just iterate through "pro" points, then iterate through "con" points (or vice-versa). That format seems usable and maybe even desirable.
