Alternative solution

For the purpose of demonstration, we saw how the #cr-load-more parser function can be given right below the #ask query. To retrieve the total number of results, another #ask query with format=count is oassed to the total parameter.

There is another way though, which is to add #cr-load-more to an outro template of the main #ask query, or intro template if you prefer to stick it at the top. Let's say the template is called "Query loadmore 25".

{{#ask: ...
| ...
|outrotemplate=Query loadmore 25
}}

Now in "Template:Query loadmore 25", use the special variables available from SMW: #resultoffset, #querylimit and #rowcount :

{{#cr-load-more:
|id=cr-load-more
|total={{{#rowcount|}}}
|limit-prev={{{#querylimit|}}}
|limit-next=25
|offset-prev={{{#resultoffset|}}}
|class=btn btn-dark mt-3
|text=Load more results...
}}
