This page shows how a SillyTavern-style lorebook can live inside MediaWiki with Semantic MediaWiki (SMW) and Scribunto. Start with the finished experience, then dig into the pieces that make it work.

That output mirrors the original lorebook behaviour while everything remains queryable inside the wiki.

== Files in this demo repo ==
== Why it works ==
* [[Template:World]] – world header template (see <code>content/Template_World.wikitext</code>).
=== Template ===
* [[Template:Concept]] – lore/environment entries (see <code>content/Template_Concept.wikitext</code>).
MediaWiki allows users to create custom templates, which is easily reusable. We created two templates [[Template:World]] and [[Template:Concept]] to mimic actual lorebooks. Here are some example pages using these templates: [[Farlandia]], [[Farlandia:Monsters]], [[Slime]], [[Mossford]]. The custom styles also renders them beautifully.
* [[SMW Lorebook Properties]] – list of property pages to create.
* Example pages: [[Farlandia]], [[Farlandia:Monsters]], [[Slime]], [[Mossford]].
* Scribunto module source: <code>scripts/module_lorebook.lua</code> (upload as [[Module:Lorebook]]).
* Optional pure-Lua harness + tests: <code>scripts/lorebook.lua</code> and <code>scripts/test_lorebook.lua</code>.


== Setup checklist ==
# Create the properties described in [[SMW Lorebook Properties]].
# Upload [[Template:World]] and [[Template:Concept]].
# Copy <code>scripts/module_lorebook.lua</code> into [[Module:Lorebook]].
# Import the example pages (world + concepts) to see immediate results: [[Farlandia]], [[Farlandia:Monsters]], [[Slime]], [[Mossford]].
# (Optional) Run <code>lua scripts/test_lorebook.lua</code> locally to verify the logic.

SMW stores each lore snippet as property triples (world ownership, keys, recursion hints). Queries can list all concepts in a world, filter by keys, or export structured JSON.

The module mirrors Lorebook matching rules: ANY/AND/NOT key logic, constant/conditional entries, and recursive parent/child traversal. It can output prompt text or JSON for downstream tools.

=== Gradual migration ===
Because everything is on wiki pages, writers can iterate in the wiki UI while engineers consume the same data via queries or the module export.


== Next steps ==
''We are trying to find more ways to fully utilize the potential of MediaWiki, you can find more in process works [https://github.com/pubwiki here]''
* Add more concepts with stacked lorebooks or character-specific filters.
* Expand the module to honour placement hints (before/after character, depth buckets).
* Generate exports for SillyTavern or other front-ends directly from the wiki.
