Event Timeline

When you mouseover the little triangle beside Generator: () you get a bubble that states:

Property "Has generator" (as page type) with input value "Generator." contains invalid characters or is incomplete and therefore can cause unexpected results during a query or annotation process.

As an aside, this error seems to be exclusive to the various Wikipedia instances.

@DeepBlue hmm, maybe a api change caused it? Or is the property having problems?

Also if you scroll to the bottom you will notice a lot of text (in template format) meaning it is not being correctly done as a template.
