Template:AssignPest

The template takes the following 4 parameters from the fields of the subform "Pest records" in the "Publication" form:

1. assigned pest
2. assigned crop (may be blank)
3. assigned country (may be blank)
4. assigned quarantined property (may be blank)

and assigns an internal object to these parameters. In addition, it checks if the pest entry (parameter 1) belongs to a higher category (see Template:GetCategory). If yes, it makes additional SemanticMW assignments. A higher category is only found if parameter 1 is not itself already a category, e.g. the pest "Helicoverpa (genus)" will not cause additional assignments. The following additional assignments are made:

• A normal SemanticMW assignment for the first category found. E.g. if the the pest is "Helicoverpa armigera" then the literature record is also assigned to "Helicoverpa (genus)".
• An additional internal object assignment to the first higher category found, using the parameters 2 to 4.
• If the assigned crop (parameter 2) belongs to the category "Grasses/turf/rangeland" or to the category "Mushrooms" (see Template:GetCategory2), then the original internal object assignment is also repeated with this crop category.

Note: The assignments to higher categories do not become available immediately after a new genus has been entered into the system. This requires the "Data repair and upgrade" action on Special:SMWAdmin which is only available to administrators. This upgrade is done routinely several times per year.

The template has the following structure:

1. Internal object assignment with the above 4 parameters.
{{#set_internal:Pest record|Pest={{{1}}}|Crop={{{2}}}|Country={{{3}}}|Quarantined={{{4}}} }}

2. Define the variable "Category" to take a higher pest category
   (and later also a higher crop category)
{{#vardefine:Category|{{GetCategory|{{{1}}} }} }}

3. If a higher category has been found...
{{#if:{{#var:Category}}|

   3a. Make an additional normal SematicMW assignment with the category
   [[Publication on pest::{{#var:Category}}| ]]

   3b. Make an additional internal object assignment
   {{#set_internal:Pest record|Pest={{#var:Category}}|Crop={{{2}}}|
     Country={{{3}}}|Quarantined={{{4}}} }}

}} (end of "{{#if:{{#var:Category}} ...")

4. If parameter 2 is not blank...
{{#if:{{{2}}}|
   re-define the variable "Category" to take the string "Grasses/turf/rangeland" 
      or "Mushrooms", if one of them is found as a higher category for the crop parameter
   {{#vardefine:Category|{{GetCategory2|{{{2}}} }} }}

   4a. If the crop category "Grasses/turf/rangeland" and "Mushrooms" has been found,
         make an additional internal object assignment
   {{#if:{{#var:Category}}|
      {{#set_internal:Pest record|Pest={{{1}}}|Crop={{#var:Category}}|
         Country={{{3}}}|Quarantined={{{4}}} }}
   }}

}} (end of "{{#if:{{{2}}}...")
