Forum:RFC - Census data

Hi,

in the past days I have put together an interface to the Daybreak Game census data at http://census.daybreakgames.com/.

You can see an example page at Test Page - Ignore.

What is does is basically fetching the stats data (dps, defense, helth etc.) from the census data and insert it into the item's info box.

As you may have already noticed Game Update 47 changed the stats of hundreds of items. Using an automatted mechanism like this would ensure, we have up-to-date data without having to worry about stats changes. Instead of pulling together the 10 stats for hundreds of items, we just need to insert the new template Template:CensusIDStats on those pages.

Downside: If the census site is down for maintenance, we temporarily have no stats. If the census site goes offline, we have no stats.

Thoughts?
