Help:Record ownership

Recurring facts and relationships have named fields in the modules listed below. Their presentation adapters retain the existing row order, table styles, headings, images, tabs and collapsed sections. Article-specific explanations and dialogue remain on the articles.

== Which source should I edit? ==
* Use [[Help:Shared data directory]] for an article’s presentation adapter and shared infobox facts.
* Use the field directory below for merchant offers, recipe ingredients, item-index values, enemy variants, character schedules, task summaries and guide outcomes.
* Edit the named value under <code>fields</code>, not its reference in the presentation adapter. Record keys contain the article or station, table purpose and row identity.
* Existing [[Module:Elderfield/Data/Items]], [[Module:Elderfield/Data/Weapons]] and [[Module:Elderfield/Data/Armor]] remain authoritative wherever the current view explicitly reads them. Shared identity and icon references are retained.
* A copied structured dataset is not automatically authoritative. Check the authority review before editing older Recipes, Shops, Enemies or NPCs datasets.

== Record families ==
{{#invoke:Elderfield/Ownership|families}}

== Editing rules ==
* A merchant price belongs to that merchant’s offer, not an item’s generic buy price. Keep limited stock, refill timing, random selection and availability notes distinct.
* Recipe records retain result variants, ingredients, access notes and station scope. Ingredient quantities use named <code>ingredient_01_quantity</code> fields; their display fields reference those quantities. Do not edit the same quantity again in a result-item view.
* Enemy stats retain their level and difficulty context. Move-selection chance and its use condition belong to the enemy, not the global ability effect. Encounter loot remains separate from ordinary EXP and gold.
* Character schedules describe visits, not necessarily residence. Keep exact time ranges, weather and progression overrides. Do not replace contextual dialogue with a flattened list.
* Item qualities, variants, special acquisition notes and different outputs remain distinct. Matching index fields share a record; differing descriptions are not silently collapsed.
* Multiline dialogue, irregular tables and unusual branching guides remain in their existing adapters when moving them would make their structure ambiguous.
* Records are wiki-maintained. Review and merge newer wiki contributions before importing or replacing anything. Never blindly overwrite a curated dataset.

== Article field directory ==
{{#invoke:Elderfield/Ownership|articles}}

== Find exact record keys ==
For a focused preview, use <code><nowiki>{{#invoke:Elderfield/Ownership|article|page=Coal}}</nowiki></code>. Change the page parameter to the article being edited. This lists its source modules and exact record keys without opening the whole directory.

== Regression checks ==
See [[Help:Shared record tests]] for renderer previews and cross-page tests. Keep the existing public template names and parameters. Keep ordered segments unless parser measurements demonstrate that consolidation is safe.
