at the bottom of the wiki page. Remember to remove this line when you have completed it. This will show you the properties created on this page and their values.

Also - in the sidebar of the Wiki, there is a ''Browse properties'' link that shows the properties of the Page. This has some useful information as well.

However, might want to go one step further and auto-generate this list from our own properties. For instance, all of our domains are marked with the [Property:Is domain] and our facilities are marked with the [Property:Is facility]. If you view the pages for [MediaWiki:Smw_allows_list_Domains] and [MediaWiki:Smw_allows_list_Facilities], you will see that they have the correct ordered lists.
