This autogenerates the correct ordered list for everything marked [[Property:Is domain]]. One might think that using the |format=ul would create the appropriate unordered list format (with the * in front), but it apparently does not. Therefore, this query removes the page link (link=none) and reduces the entry to simple text, and then it uses the template [[Template:Starlist_for_allow_value_list]] to render the text with a * in front of it (''See [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Templates help on templates] for an explanation of templates'''. This works well.

If, for some reason, you do enter a value that is not on the allowed list of values, the page will render a small warning icon.

===Philosophy on New Properties===

Basically, there isn't much of one. The beauty of properties is that you can add them, and mix and match them to form unique queries. I suspect that there will be a query that shows every piece of equipment in the Maker Hub. There could be one that shows everything - equipment, tools, supplies, etc. There could be one that shows equipment in the machine shop. And then, one can create more focused properties. I have initially created two as examples - [[Property:Is sheet metal equipment|Is sheet metal equipment]] and [[Property:Is soldering iron equipment|Is soldering iron equipment]]. I suspect that we will mark the [[Sheet Metal Shear]] as both [[Property:Is equipment|Is equipment]]  and [[Property:Is sheet metal equipment|Is sheet metal equipment]]. This way, the [[Sheet Metal Shear]] will show up on lists that show equipment as well as lists that show the more focused sheet metal equipment. However, [[Soldering Irons]] will be marked as [[Property:Is equipment|Is equipment]], but the [[Weller_WES51]] will only be marked as [[Property:Is soldering iron equipment|Is soldering iron equipment]]. This means that [[Soldering Irons]] will show up on a general equipment query, but the [[Weller_WES51]] will not. This decision is somewhat arbitrary and is left to the Wiki editors. In this case, there is no reason to see every particular type of soldering iron on a general equipment list, but the sheet metal sheer will show up, like this: [[File:small_warning_icon.png|12px|Small Warning Icon]].
