article -multiple -mass create list
What functionality is missing? What is unsatisfying with the current situation?
For people who move from one platform to another (World Anvil in this case) and have a large number of content pieces (articles), creating them one by one is very time-consuming. It is important to note I am aware article templates are complex things but just being able to add a title and the 1st box content would go a long way. (Even just title is a big help)How does this feature request address the current situation?
Somebody could import a list in CSV, JSON or whatever format makes sense for WA of say 50 articles, and then it creates them all in your world. This would be sensible to limit to take care of the precious servers.What are other uses for this feature request?
Adding the ability to also add tags/categories would be cool of course but that's proabably where it should end before it gets too nuts! No 'other' uses but I can see this being good in many scenarios, bulk adding various templates means you can add many locations, items, npcs etc at once.The Team's Response
Closed due to low support under 20 days (Declined) Please read full answer with full explanation of how this will be achievable. The next scheduled upgrade on the API are the following endpoints

on 2021-04-29 19:02As Verti, I'm unsure as well and would like Dimitris' feedback. I can see how useful it is for someone with a whole set of articles to make ( X number of districts in a large city, etc ) ... but I agree... the API could easily cover this in the future.

on 2021-04-29 18:07I am slightly unsure about this one. I like the functionality and would love to have it. Unsure because I feel this is something the API would open up already in the future. I throw my points in because I would like to have Dimitris' feedback on this.

on 2021-04-25 19:23Importing articles via JSON would allow me to have future video games and tools generate articles.

on 2021-04-20 18:50Adding this to the Quick Content Creation button could be great. I know I often add multiple of the same article template through that for me to elaborate later. I also suggest allowing you to choose the folder and privacy of the articles for mass article creation, that way you don't have to reorganize all the articles you just created.

on 2021-04-20 11:18I don't think this is something that should be directly integrated into WA but should be a use case for the WA API when it can create stuff.

on 2021-04-19 15:52If this could be made into an extension of the purple button's features, that would be lovely - as the suggested said even just title and template would be huge. There are times when I sit and make some ten or so articles of the same type to be quickly made articles and fill them out later on, and having to manually do each one was ... well, I had to do them one at a time.

on 2021-04-19 13:23Upvoting this as a cool idea in concept, but I think this'd best be done with the API when that gets POST access. Shouldn't be hard to make an importer that uses the API to drag a whole list in, then.
