Description:
When performing a query through Special:ask or when attempting to obtain further results from an inline query, Special:ask will forget about any "?# -" specified in the query. This is the suggested means of obtaining the title of the resulting page without having it linked.
This occurs even in the sandbox at semantic-mediawiki.org.
To recreate this issue:
- In the sandbox query all pages with [[Category:Person]] and return "?name" and "#? -"
- Notice there are three columns returned: the link to the page, the person's name, and the name of the page with no link.
- Click Next for results 21-40
- Notice there are only two columns returned: the link to the page, and the person's name
Somewhere along the line, the "?# -" was eaten... This is especially vital to templates that make use of the "?# -" property in a variable because it may shift the variable used by all the other properties (If its not the last property queried for).
