format="count" already exists, since at least SMW 0.7.

??? This page mentions SMW, but it's hardly related to it.
Have you looked at ontoworld.org or http://semantic-mediawiki.org/?

I agree that the wiki pages there need improvement, and hopefully that
will happen once 1.0 is released (personally, I'm currently refraining
from doing any work on the site, because many things have changed
between 0.7 and 1.0 and it's not so easy to separate it; I hope 1.0 will
be released soon, so the old information about 0.7 can be replaced) But
such documentation doesn't write itself. Maybe you can rework the wiki
pages on semantic-mediawiki.org with the things you have already learned
about SMW 1.0.
That would surely be appreciated.

Regards,
Thomas
