This is the mini-project to create a Titannica project. The FF Titan Herbal is a phenomenal piece of work captured in the database section of Titan Rebuilding and it has long been my aim to ensure that the results of Greyarea's endeavours (others have made excellent contributions but I think those involved will not begrudge Greyarea the plaudits) form the basis of creating the comprehensive catalogue of the denizens of Titan here in Titannica. The Herbal and its associated databases (FF Titan Bestiary, and FF Titan Rogues Gallery) are perhaps the most thorough piece of Titan scholarship and I feel are the perfect place from which to guide Titannica's efforts to document this particular facet of the Titan universe. I intend to formulate an approach to marry the database catalgoue information with Titannica documentation and then publish this as a project space form which to launch hundreds of new articles and FF Titan Herbal led improvements to existing articles. I have held off for a while, but the work of Greyarea is now tantalising close to completion, hence this initial foray.

Not to be confused with, but related to:

• FF Titan Bestiary Conversion Project
• FF Titan Rogues Gallery Conversion Project

EntriesEdit

Notes on the tableEdit

The pages in the table below link to the either the project mainpage for each entry where the entry has details from the database that need to be integrated into the main article, or to the mainpage article where the details have already been integrated.

Number of articles/entries to be processedEdit

When the project began operationally on 8 May 2010, there were 573 distinct plants identified in the database. Of these, 454 did not have articles in Titannica, 119 did have articles.

It was decided that for those with no article, the stub mainpage article would be created from the database detail. Thus, these entries automatically became denoted as "integrated", in that the database details were integrated into the mainpage article. In terms of using the detail from the database to form a more complete and well-rounded article, this is for the many editors to develop.

For those with an article (119 at the beginning), it was decided to create a project page on which the database information would be placed. This could then be integrated gradually into the mainpage articles and once complete, the entry could then be denoted as "integrated". Thus, an ironic position emerges where those articles already developed are at first deemed "not yet integrated", whereas those who are created from the database information are denoted as "integrated".

Items yet to be integrated into databaseEdit

It should be noted that when the project went live on 4 May 2010 there were a few missing items from the database, but these were considered as manageable in terms of integrating into the project at a late date when complete. Those items were:

• Conversion of Out of the Pit references from large version book into references for the small book version
• deconstruction of Night of the Necromancer
• deconstruction of softback Tasks of Tantalon (hardback done so conversion of references in effect)
• 3 parts of The Dark Usurper
• deconstruction of the Poster Book
• FF30, FF35, FF39 and FF42 and FF47 although in the Bestiary had not yet been deconstructed for the Herbal or Rogues gallery.

Known issuesEdit

There are occasions when an entry appears more than once. This may be because the vast database on occasion enters the creature under two slightly different forms (for example a singular and elsewhere a plural, or perhaps where it is named differently e.g. "Caarth" and "Caarth (Snake People)".) Although it would have been preferable to account for this when converting, some got through the net. Being a wiki, this can easily be remedied through merging details.
