== What we will build ==

We’ll model a small universe called "Farlandia" with:

- Places (Environment): town, landmark, etc.

- Entities (Lore): monsters like "slime" with both PList-like traits and Ali:Chat-like example reactions.

* Places (Environment): town, landmark, etc.

- Keys and specificity (primary/secondary keys, AND/NOT), trigger rules and placement.

* Entities (Lore): monsters like "slime" with both PList-like traits and Ali:Chat-like example reactions.

- Recursive scanning (parent→child activation), constant vs conditional entries.

* Keys and specificity (primary/secondary keys, AND/NOT), trigger rules and placement.

- Exporters to JSON for use as a Lorebook, and transclusion for in-wiki pages.

Technologies used:

- Semantic MediaWiki (SMW) for structured data: properties, categories, queries.

- Scribunto (Lua) for lightweight logic: key matching, AND/NOT filters, recursion, and JSON export.

== Data Model (SMW) ==

We use pages for concepts and SMW properties for fields. Minimal property set:

- [[Has type::Page]] properties:

* [[Has type::Page]] properties:

* [[Property:Belongs to world]] — parent world (e.g., Farlandia)

* [[Property:Parent concept]] — parent concept to support recursion (e.g., Monsters → Slimes)

- [[Has type::Text]] properties:

* [[Has type::Text]] properties:

* [[Property:Plist]] — serialized PList-like content (single-line or semicolon-separated)

* [[Property:AliChat]] — example dialogues (Ali:Chat-style text)

Line 35:

Line 41:

* [[Property:Placement]] — hints like after-character | before-character | depth:5

* [[Property:Non-recursable]] — yes/no (to opt out from recursion)

~~Tip: Keep properties predictable, single purpose, and text-based for simple editing. You can always add more typed properties later (e.g., Has type::Boolean for Non-recursable).~~
