Evaluate format template content in (Semantic-)Mediawiki

I am using semantic mediawiki to store and describe information about scientific papers. In this context I would like to build a citation template that links to the page where the paper is described.

Every Paper has an identifier which is a combination of first author and year with the property like this: [[Has citekey:someauthor2019]]. I use a template to cite this paper as {{Cite | someauthor2019}} and combine the Cite template with a format template to render it as a link to the page with the name of the citekey.

The problem is that when I do it with the templates below, it will actually display the wikitext:

[[Name of the page | someauthor2019 ]]

instead of evaluating it to appear as the named link:

someauthor2019

This is the semantic-mediawiki ask query to get the paper information:

{{#ask: [[Has citekey::{{{1}}}]]
 |?Has citekey
 |format=template
 |template=Cite Text
}}

This is the format template to deal with the results of the query:

[[{{{1}}} | {{{2}}}]]

How can I get the avaluated result of a named link to be displayed instead of the wikitext?

Thank you in advance for any help!

Solution

  • Try to use 

     |link=none

    this will pass {{{1}}} result as raw text to your template

    You request becomes :

    {{#ask: [[Has citekey::{{{1}}}]]
 |?Has citekey
 |format=template
 |template=Cite Text
 |link=none
}}
