Hello,
I hope I'm in the correct area, but if not, sorry (and hopefully someone can
direct me). I'm active on a WIKI for "Final Fantasy XI." It is at:
http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/wiki/Main_Page
In the associated forums, I posted an idea for an application, which could
use information found in the wiki. This is information is in different area
(it deals with monster levels, locations of monsters, as well as, combat
skill levels of the various jobs). The thread is at:
http://forums.ffxiclopedia.org/viewtopic.php?f=4
<http://forums.ffxiclopedia.org/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=28559&p=349941>
&t=28559&p=349941
NOTE: Presently, the monsters and locations have their own individual
pages, as well as category pages (I've noted sometime they won't agree on
all data). These pages also follow a standard template (well, are supposed
to follow).
One person suggested there might be programs, which have the ability to
extract information from WIKI pages for applications to use. My goal would
be two fold (one beyond the thread)
1) Meet the goals of a reverse skill up application, as outlined in the
thread.
2) Create a page for the wiki - wiki.ffxiclopedia.org - listing all the
monsters known by the wiki and their attributes. To keep this page current
/ in sync with individual monster pages, well, this application would exist.
So, I'm wondering is this the place to find an application / ability to scan
and collect information for the FFXIclopedia? If no, ah, is there somewhere
to go to obtain this help? If yes, great, where do I go to learn and/or get
help?
NOTE: One short coming to the WIKI concept I see is keeping stuff in sync.
In "our" case an example is monster level. Say the individual monster page
says the level is 83 - 85, YET the category page for the monster's type can
list the same monster but give the level as 84 - 86. I understand why this
happens, as each page is independent but yet refers to the same information.
What would be nice is a way / method to keep the same data in sync across a
wiki (or multiple wikia). For example: If one could save a monster and its
attributes in a database and then in the page reference the entry (e.g.
monster_name.level (e.g. Goblin_Beastman.level) would generate the 83 - 85
and thus everywhere the monster and its level would be in sync).
Anyway, thanks for listening and I look forward to any / all positive help I
obtain from the list.
Thanks!!!
Bert.
