* [[Form:Associate_Vesture_With_Belle|'''Associate Vesture With Belle''']] - Required information includes {{#cargo_query:
=== Create Data ===
tables=ITEMVesture
{{CreateDataLinks|Vesture}}
|fields=ITEMVesture._pageID, ITEMVesture.TXT_VestureName, ITEMVesture.TXT_VestureType, ITEMVesture.TXT_StatBonus
|format=csv
|link text=Vestures data
|filename=ITEMVestures
}} and {{#cargo_query:
tables=MAINBelle
|fields=MAINBelle._pageID, MAINBelle.TXT_CharName
|format=csv
|link text=Belle data
|filename=MAINBelleNamesOnly
}}.  Name the form <BelleName>-<VestureType>, so St. Louis' Honor vesture would be "St. Louis Honor" as the page name.  (This isn't a page anyone is looking at, it's invisible linkage so that pages people do read work correctly).  Fill out the form exactly as it suggests by using the _pageID values for both Belle and Vesture.
* [[Form:Create_a_Vesture|'''Create a Vesture''']] - First, make sure the Vesture doesn't already exist by checking this {{#cargo_query:
tables=ITEMVesture
|fields=ITEMVesture.TXT_VestureName
|format=csv
|link text=Vesture names
|filename=VestureNamesOnly
}} list.  If it doesn't, then create it using its ''exact name from Victory Belles''.  Yes, some names have special characters.  Use [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Special_characters#Important_special_characters|'''this MediaWiki help page'''] if assistance is required entering such characters.


NOTE FOR NERDS: All these forms do is create a nice front-end to connect things together (like associating gear with Belles or resources with maps) via a relational database system.  However, it's much easier than explaining said SQL and all the implications of trying to set up SQL users, etc!
