MediaWiki:Architecture of SAR service

Items & properties

Items and properties are core to wikibase. They operate like a very flexible database. The SAR service relies on some information being properly entered. See Item:Q102 for an example.

Templates

Templates are a MediaWiki system that allow filling text modularly. There is extensive documentation on the MediaWiki docs.

Note that templates can be used from within gadgets or user scripts (see below) as well as regular pages.
