Dragon Age Wiki:Project Bodahn

=Project Bodahn=

Status

 * Initial technical implementation complete.
 * Proposed draft.

Overview
A project encompassing all the merchants in the game and their inventories and any relevant details.

Scope
This project deals exclusively with merchants, the items they sell, and other details from .utm files. It does not cover the actual item pages themselves; for that, see Project Juggernaut.

Preliminary dump

 * User:Caridin/sandbox - Incomplete name mappings, but proof of concept.

Merchant Page Layout
Unknown at this time.

Integration
How to deal with integrating this information onto the item pages. Possible options include:
 * Yuck - "Statically" plant the "merchants who sell this item" information onto the item pages.
 * Template kung fu; in other words, transclude a seperate merchant page onto the item pages.

DLC Items
Requires a human.

PB&J
Project Bodahn and Project Juggernaut will work together. The process will be this exact order:
 * 1) Juggernaut uploads the item pages (and erases the content of the previous item page)
 * 2) Bodahn will upload the merchant pages
 * 3) During which, Bodahn will employ whatever technique is decided on in Integration to include the "who sells this item" on the unique item page.

Aftermath
After the process outlined in PB&J is complete, the wiki will have the following:
 * Merchant pages formatted to a currently undefined specification; page details include what the merchant sells, how many they sell, are items infinite, etc.
 * Item pages formatted to a currently undefined specification; page details include a spiffy infobox and some other details.
 * Item pages will list every merchant who sells that item.
