Adherents of the French Prophets and their religious affiliations

• The distribution of males and females who became followers of the early 18th-century "French Prophets"
• Adherents of the French Prophets and their religious affiliation
• The Illuminati membership statements The intricate thing is that this search excludes the two 100% bubbles of Illuminati and Freemasons that are of course given with every Illuminati membership.

Grammatically intricate searches

• all places - with their respective Wikidata numbers
• Member of the Illuminati, state the primary document reference that we have for this statement
• The graduates of Gotha's Gymnasium Illustre/Ernestinum: their fathers with career information, their mothers and the fathers of the mothers (i.e. maternal grandfathers) with the respective career information] The search is intricate as it goes into related database objects and brings information located there into the table.

Looking for a statement - give it with all the qualifying statements

This search is especially useful if the data model needs to be changed. It searches the database for a particular statement and gives all the instances with the respective qualifying sub-statements:

SELECT * WHERE {
  ?s wdt:P2 wd:Q7.
  ?s p:P266 ?st. # ?s is the the statement node
  ?st ps:P266 ?o. # that simulates the predicate
  ?st ?qualifier ?value. # this is an attribute (a qualifier)
}
