You can use semantic queries to search the data on this site.
- Special:Ask allows you to write your own queries using Semantic Mediawiki's own query language. You don't have to log in to write a query, and you can export the results. For more help, see:
- Semantic Mediawiki help page: Semantic search, which gives an introduction and examples.
- Help:Data structures, which documents the properties we use at this site.
Most pages also have semantic queries built into them to display links to other pages.
Query forms
These forms allow you to enter criteria for a query:
- Search events by date provides a simple form that lets you search for events that happened within a specified date range.
- Journals by month of issue provides a simple form that lets you search for journals that are expected to publish new issues in the selected month.
Maps
These ready-made queries display a map:
- Map of combat events shows each combat event on a map, if it has a page on this site and the page includes coordinates.
- Map of cathedrals shows every instance of cathedral on a map, if it has coordinates.
