Summary

  • This project is to clean up and standardize Fishing data so that it can be viewed in a reasonable and accurate manner, and also have semantic data populated for use on other pages.
  • The data will be set up similar to the Miner/Botanist pages, such that most of the Fish data exists on the Fish pages but the location availability will be on the Fishing Log pages (mirroring MIN/BTN's setup on Area pages).
  • Work in earnest is planned for 7.5x, but may happen sooner.
  • OnyxVindicator is the primary contact person for this project.

To-Dos

  • Find good sources for the data elements listed in later sections
  • Compile that data into a CSV file for upload
  • Update the fishing data on fish pages
  • Make semantic tables on the Fishing Log pages
    • Make related templates
  • Make semantic tables on the Big Fish page
    • Make related templates
