Codex

The Codex page of the journal

This page deals with the sub-project Project Genitivi: Codex, which involves various strands of work on the Codex section of the wiki, including creating and applying new codex templates, verifying the text of all entries and ensuring there are hyperlinks links between them and other wiki articles.

Project Genitivi involves a major post-release overhaul of the Lore category of the Dragon Age Wiki. It covers a review of the lore categories, reformatting and tidying codex information and rewriting and restructuring lore articles in the light of information in the codex and from the Dragon Age Wiki: Origins game more generally.

Getting involved[]

Community involvement with this element of Project Genitivi is warmly welcomed.

  • Can you add in-game locations of codex entries? Gaps can easily be seen on the summary pages linked from the main Codex page.
  • Can you help verfy the text of codex entries? This involves copying toolset codex text data into articles, replacing text that has often been manually typed, and then "wikifying" it. If you are interested in getting involved in this task, please do get in touch with Zoev and indicate which area of the codex you'd prefer to work on. She can send .txt files containing the toolset data for each of the codex entries.
