Talk:Rope

Could someone take a look at the ISearch for climbing ropes please and tell why it's populating that list with a dancing rope? MOTHRA (talk) 12:32, 23 September 2020 (CDT)

If I had to guess it's because the name literally says "climbing rope" in it and the semantic search also touches on nouns. --TEVESHSZAT (talk) 13:51, 23 September 2020 (CDT)

It's the Climbing rope redirect page. I just changed it and no longer get any results for "climbing rope" on this page. Template:ISearch is looking at page names, not properties. Maybe this needs a straight-up ASK query. Weird. --TK-421 (talk) 14:01, 23 September 2020 (CDT)

And "dancing rope" and "climbing rope" are different properties, but the results on queries don't distinguish between the two... --TK-421 (talk) 14:08, 23 September 2020 (CDT)

Is it working how you were envisioning now? --TK-421 (talk) 14:28, 23 September 2020 (CDT)

Some of the mistaken results might be coming from improper tagging too. I just updated the Item:Dark climbing rope woven with strangely glowing threads to "climbing rope", which had been tagged as the "dancing rope" itype, and it did properly move it to the "Climbing Rope" section. It is currently back to "dancing" but it may be that a manual review of all the possible ropes is needed to confirm tags are correct. Kythryn 14:34, 23 September 2020 (CDT)

I changed the itype on Item:Dark climbing rope woven with strangely glowing threads as a test. Put it back, since it should be a "climbing" rope. Gonna back off on fiddling with this for now, so smarter folks can take a stab at it. I agree that the tagging is inconsistent. I also don't know why I can't distinguish between "climbing" and "dancing" itypes with ASK queries. --TK-421 (talk) 14:59, 23 September 2020 (CDT)
