Hello,
we are evaluating the use of the Semantic Wiki Extension.
While it has great abilities, there is one big disadvantage. We are using templates with the relevant attribute definition.
If you update the template, e.g. add a new attribute, all the articles based on that template need to be opened and saved again.
I was wondering if it would be possible to
a) Either write an extension, where I input the name of the template and this is done automatically (which function would I need to call with php to update an article?)
b) Have it done automaticalley. I noticed, when you change the category of the template, after some processing time all pages using that template are updated and in the new category.
As far as I know, (b) is already being done in curren MediaWiki, see [[meta:Help:Job queue]]
