Markus, I noticed the "magic" property assignments [[SMW::off] and [[SMW::on]] that smwfParsePropertiesCallback() recognizes that turn $smwgTempStoreAnnotations. These seem to do exactly what Mr. Olavo requires. Let me know if we should document these magic property assignments.

If you want to disable semantic annotations for a template or page you transclude, another way to do it is to use an inline query with format=embedded and just name the page you want to transclude.

The discussion is on the semediawiki-user thread "Importing a page ignoring the annotations".

Actually I consider SMW::on and SMW__off a hack, since they intorduce a state-full behaviour into page parsing, and this is rather unusual in MediaWiki. I would much prefer to have a better solution at some point, and thus I did not document it. But users may of course make use of these switches at their own risk. I will certainly not remove them without having some replacement, so putting the in a template that could later be updated would be okay.

But I would leave this hint on this page -- interested users will find it -- and not put it into the documentation.

Re-assign to extension developer for triage/comments.
