Talk:Storm scale

Article coming soon
Probably apparent, but there will be a full article here within a few days. I've built a scraper to extract all posts mentioning the storm scale from Maro's blog, and now it's just a matter of waiting through the rate limit (5k requests per day vs 7k pages on his blog) and then the manual labor of extracting the useful data from them. A lot of the grunt work will be handled by the code, though. Once I have the full blog downloaded, I'll see about getting it entered into a google doc so that other interested parties can help with the extraction. --Corveroth (talk) 20:36, 3 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Here is an example of the output to be sorted through. --Corveroth (talk) 20:53, 3 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Well now. That took too long because I was fiddling with the scraper to make it do... well, forget that. That same spreadsheet has been updated with the full Q&A of every post mentioning the storm scale. Comes pre-equipped with a reasonable approximation of a wiki ref! All that needs to be done now is sorting through 811 questions and extracting the useful data into the empty two columns. Help welcome. =) --Corveroth (talk) 06:50, 24 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Also, if anyone does want to jump in, a few style rules. If the subject of the ask is not a named mechanic, wrap it in quotes. If there are multiple subjects or multiple values given in response, duplicate that line as many times as necessary to ensure that each has its own line. --Corveroth (talk) 07:13, 24 December 2016 (UTC)
 * I am not quite sure how to help. I also thought you wanted to build a module from that? - Yandere Sliver H09 symbol.png 21:15, 24 December 2016 (UTC)
 * The module is already up and running (if subject to future improvement) - it's just a layout tool, with the added bonus of being able to dynamically infer statistics about subjects that have been rated multiple times, such as the highest, most recent, or median score. The goal now is to work through the near-raw data scraped from Maro's blog to collect subject:rating pairs. --Corveroth (talk) 23:26, 24 December 2016 (UTC)
