Help:Type

Special:Types lists types available and in use in the wiki.

You can also use Special:Allpages to see pages in the Type namespace, or use a semantic search to query for pages in the Type namespace, e.g.: <ask>type:+</ask>

For each, use "What links here" to find the attributes of the type concerned.

Old documentation follows, see Help:Annotation instead. The working types are:

• Type:Date
• Type:Float and the user-defined subtypes (each with a set of convertible units):
  • Type:Length
  • Type:Area
  • Type:Mass
  • Type:Time
• Type:Geographic coordinate
• Type:Integer
• Type:String (and the corresponding Type:URL)
• Type:Temperature

The factbox shows the primary display unit, followed by other display units (see the special property [[Property:Display units to change this). In a hoverbox an annotation shows, if it does not have a blank label, as far as they are not the value specified, the main display unit, and other display units.
