Semantic MediaWiki 1.9.0Released on an unknown date unknown versions of MediaWiki introduced the |+sep=... parameter to the #set parser function. This parameter allows to declare a separator 12 for splitting value declarations assigned to a property.

Syntax

{{#set:
 |property1=value1;value2|+sep=;
 |property2=value1,value2,value3|+sep=,
 ...
}}

Example

Syntax

{{#set:
 |Has text=fc00:123:8000::/%6;2001:db8::1428:57ab;2001:db8:0:8d3:0:8a2e:70:7344
 |+sep=;
}}

In this case only a silent annotation using #set is possible since the values e.g. "2001:db8::1428" which should be assigned to the property contain two consecutive colons "::" which cannot be use for in-text annotations. Other restricted characters or values that can only be annotated this way are square brackets or wiki-links.
