Why another CRT database site?

• We want to be maximally open and agile to new data. Hence the wiki format.
• For me personally, I wanted to know how to make a MediaWiki site that puts schema-fied data first, rather than "loose" data like you find scattered on e.g. Wikipedia
• Want to cover worldwide, not have North America bias
• Want to integrate natively with EveryCRT

Feature list

• CRT model data capture
  • Expressive format for inputs, outputs, multiple power voltages, etc.
  • See data format in CRT Model form/template
• Search page
  • Wanted to use native Semantic MediaWiki search but ended up needing to write custom JS
• Document upload (for manuals, brochures, etc.)
  • Data model applies them to multiple CRT models at once (if necessary)
  • Supports storing files on wiki as well as e.g. archive.org
• CRT image storage
• CRT accessories
  • I want to have a page for remote controls, stands, etc.
  • As well as community developed accessories like clone cards to enable RGB, 3D models/prints for replacement doors, etc.
• 3D models of CRTs
  • e.g. Quasar VV1308
• Bot-friendly. MCP editing is encouraged (with human oversight)
• Data sharing friendly - MIT license for contributions

TODO list

• Contributing guide (CRT Model form walkthrough)
  • Lua modules okay
• CRT model schema explanation?
• CRT accessories, remotes, stands, etc. pages
• How to subsect AV devices?
