  • Unique ID - Not needed, as the Wiki page is the Unique ID.
  • Status - Not needed on the Wiki unless we wanted to implement bug tracking on the Wiki itself. Interesting to note that I have come across a really good example of using Semantic data and forms to do such a thing.
That sounds like a great idea. I vote to track status in a "Semanticized" manner and teach our mod testers how to update ;) ... however, I see this datum as labels like "Accepted" "Denied", etc ~z929669Ixian Insignia.pngTalk 03:19, 9 October 2012 (UTC)
  • Reason Rejected - Directly tied to use of Status above.
  • Active - Not needed, as setting a section to "blank" effectively marks the mod as not active.
  • Short Mod Name - Not needed, as the Wiki page name is the short mod name.
  • Section ID - Already being used (current name is Section )
  • Section Name - Already being used (current name is SectionDescription )
Is "section" in reference to mod or PDF section? I assume the former, so it should be ModSection"" in that case~z929669Ixian Insignia.pngTalk 03:28, 9 October 2012 (UTC)
  • Core - Already being used.
  • Baseline - Already being used.
  • Impact - Already being used.
  • Notes - Need to add this, but we need to decide if we only need the notes for the current release, or if we want to retain notes for all releases. I vote for current release only so it can be implemented in the Mod Form (should be marked to be editable by administrators only).
Agree ~z929669Ixian Insignia.pngTalk 03:19, 9 October 2012 (UTC)

BUILDER NOTES

  • Nexus ID - Already being used, but needs to change (reference)
  • Forum Thread ID - Already being used.
  • Install Order - Implementation in the works.
  • Conflicts - Need to determine how to implement this. I imagine something similar to adding an External URL on the Mod Form where you can add a new entry and select a Mod (may also need a note property associated with this to include additional information)
I definitely see use for a property, [[Member of conflict group::X]] Conflict groups are mod groups that share overlapping/associated conflicts and who "wins" ~z929669Ixian Insignia.pngTalk 03:19, 9 October 2012 (UTC)
  • STEP - No idea what this is intended for.
This would be STEP Section number ;) ~z929669Ixian Insignia.pngTalk 03:19, 9 October 2012 (UTC)
  • Mod Attributes - No idea what this is intended for.
This is mod type and anything else mod specific ... we have this covered already ~z929669Ixian Insignia.pngTalk 03:19, 9 October 2012 (UTC)
  • Nexus Link - Not needed, already determined by Nexus ID (implementation will change to account for multiple external sources).
  • STEP Forum Link - Not needed, already determined by Forum Thread ID.
  • Mod Name - Needs to be added, but should be changed to Full Mod Name.

Additional

  • Mod Site Name - This or similar to identify the name of the primary site for downloading the Mod (primarily used for labels and/or link text).
  • Mod Site ID - The ID of the Mod on the Mod Site Name.
