$smwgDataTypePropertyExemptionList is a configuration parameter that sets which datatypes are exempted from the property registration process. It was introduced in Semantic MediaWiki 2.5.0Released on 14 March 2017 and compatible with MW 1.23.0 - 1.29.x..1

When a datatype is being exempted from the property registration process no corresponding property will be created allowing to directly add a data value to it. The reason is that doing so does brings no benefit since the datatype requires further definitions to operate using special property "Has fields"Defines a short list of fields with a fixed type and order for datatype Record which holds a many values via a compound of properties defined with their respective datatypes.

Default setting

$smwgDataTypePropertyExemptionList => array(
	'Record',
	'Reference'
);

This means that by default the datatype "Record"Holds compound property values that consist of a short list of values with fixed type and order and datatype "Reference"Holds a value that associates it to individual defined provenance metadata record are exempted from the property registration process.

Changing the default setting

Changing the default setting is discouraged for the reasons stated at the top of the page.
