Re: [Semediawiki-user] [SF] forms for sub-pages

[CW D. <cwd...@gm...>]

Matt,
I tend to conceptualize 'location' as an attribute of the object and let the
page depict the object.  It's also fair to describe places as the parents of
many locations.  So, I think I would organize this data a little
differently.

As I understand your post, you want people at a location to record the
species that they see and you want people who spot a species, regardless of
their location, to be able to identify the place at which they spotted
something.  Using an example from my own natural habitat:

The event to be recorded:
I spotted a Talking Head at the Mancini's last month.

Mancini's take out is a place ([[Category:Coffee Shops]]), is [[Located at::
38.82112,-77.057805]] plus or minus a few yards, and [[Has website::
cateringbymancinis.com<http://local_url?q=http://www.cateringbymancinis.com/&dq=mancini's&ie=UTF-8&fb=1&gl=us&hq=mancini's&hnear=Arlington,+VA&cid=0,0,9052972746394681222&ei=Rcn9TIKFGZi2ywTJu8yFBw&oi=miw&ved=0CCAQnwIwAQ&sa=X&ct=miw_link&cd=1&cad=homepage,cid:9052972746394681222&s=ANYYN7nLa5YczDvON_FseU8iqwRAgILdkQ>
‎]].
Talking Head is a notable figure ([[Category:Notable Figures]]), [[Has
Name::James Carville]] and has been spotted at [[Spotted at::Mancini's]] on
[[Spotted on::whenever]]

You can add formlinks for both Places and Taking Heads to "add another"
Place and "add another" Talking Head.  But, to scratch your itch you need to
tell people where to find wildlife and tell people at some location what
wildlife can be found.

On the Place page, I would ask...
{{#ask:[[Category:Notable Figures]] [[Spotted at::{{PAGENAME}}]]
|?Has Name
|?Spotted on
}}

and on the Talking Head page I would ask...
{{#ask:[[Spotted at::+]]
|?Located at
}}

Now you can find all the places that Talking heads were seen, along with
their location data, and you can find all the places where a Talking Head
can be seen.
