Infobox settlement
Can't get this to assign anything other than the WS special param 'wikipedia' and 'image'. Image was only made to work by separating the smw property assignments from the infobox param assignment, but the width and caption params do not work.

- The conditional property assignments (#if) work OK when done *before* the 'settlement' template, rather than as part of a settlement template param; but only the 'settlement' param 'image' seems to display. eg in The Cenotaph 'type' and 'locations' do not show in the infobox. --Peter P (talk) 07:34, 15 July 2015 (IST)
- Yeah, the syntax is fiddly - and I think the images broke with the SMW upgrade. Its a moot point whether it would have been better to make up something from scratch, or whether grafting onto the WP infoboxes was good practice. Note that I never actually use "#set" - I've found it unreliable - so I use [[property name::example | ]] instead.
