+# Wizarding in OpenSCD
+
+## OpenSCD
+
+The current wizarding functionality in OpenSCD consists of these key components:
+
+1. **`<oscd-wizards>`** (`packages/openscd/src/addons/Wizards.ts`)
+   - Central wizard queue manager
+   - Listens for `wizard` events on the host element
+   - Manages FIFO workflow of wizard factories
+
+2. **`<wizard-dialog>`** (`packages/openscd/src/wizard-dialog.ts`)
+   - Renders wizard pages and handles user interactions
+   - Dispatches editor actions when wizard completes
+
+3. **Host Integration** (`packages/openscd/src/open-scd.ts`)
+   ```typescript
+   render(): TemplateResult {
+     return html`<oscd-waiter>
+       <oscd-settings .host=${this}>
+         <oscd-wizards .host=${this}>
+           <oscd-history .host=${this}>
+             <!-- ... rest of the app -->
+   ```
+
+**How it works:**
+
+1. **Wizard creation**: plugins create wizard definitions
+   ```typescript
+   // Example from ied-container.ts
+   private openEditWizard(): void {
+     const wizard = wizards['IED'].edit(this.element);
+     if (wizard) this.dispatchEvent(newWizardEvent(wizard));
+   }
+   ```
+
+2. **Event dispatching**: wizards are triggered by dispatching `wizard` events
+   ```typescript
+   // From foundation.ts
+   export function newWizardEvent(
+     wizardOrFactory?: Wizard | WizardFactory,
+     eventInitDict?: CustomEventInit<Partial<WizardDetail>>
+   ): WizardEvent
+   
+   // Usage examples:
+   this.dispatchEvent(newWizardEvent(wizardFactory));  // Open wizard
+   this.dispatchEvent(newWizardEvent());               // Close wizard
+   this.dispatchEvent(newWizardEvent(subWizard, { detail: { subwizard: true } })); // Subwizard
+   ```
+
+3. **Central processing**: The `<oscd-wizards>` component catches all wizard events
+   ```typescript
+   // From Wizards.ts
+   private onWizard(we: WizardEvent) {
+     const wizard = we.detail.wizard;
+     if (wizard === null) this.workflow.shift();
+     else if (we.detail.subwizard) this.workflow.unshift(wizard);
+     else this.workflow.push(wizard);
+   }
+   ```
+
+4. **Dialog rendering**: The central `<wizard-dialog>` renders the current wizard
+
+## scl-wizarding plugin
+
+The [scl-wizarding plugin](https://github.com/OpenEnergyTools/scl-wizarding) is an alternative wizarding system designed specifically for SCL operations with simplified events.
+
+**Key differences from OpenSCD:**
+
+- **Simplified Events**: Uses element-focused events instead of wizard factories
+   ```typescript
+   // scl-wizarding events:
+   this.dispatchEvent(newEditWizardEvent(element));           // Edit element
+   this.dispatchEvent(newCreateWizardEvent(parent, tagName)); // Create element
+   
+   // vs OpenSCD events:
+   this.dispatchEvent(newWizardEvent(wizardFactory));
+   ```
+
+- **Pre-built wizard registry**: SCL element types with ready-made wizards
+   ```typescript
+   // Comprehensive wizard coverage for SCL elements:
+   // Substation, VoltageLevel, Bay, ConductingEquipment, PowerTransformer,
+   // IED, LDevice, LNode, ConnectedAP, LNodeType, DOType, DAType, etc.
+   ```
+
+
+**Usage:**
+```typescript
+// Edit existing SCL element
+private editElement(): void {
+  this.dispatchEvent(newEditWizardEvent(this.element));
+}
+
+// Create new SCL element
+private createElement(): void {
+  this.dispatchEvent(newCreateWizardEvent(parentElement, 'ConductingEquipment'));
+}
+```
+
+## Moving away from centralised wizarding
+
+Both the OpenSCD centralised wizarding and the scl-wizarding plugin represent centralised approaches that should be migrated away from in favour of plugin-based solutions.
+
+### Migration strategy
+
+**Step 1: Identify current usage**
+```typescript
+// Look for these patterns in your plugins:
+
+// OpenSCD centralised:
+this.dispatchEvent(newWizardEvent(wizard));
+
+// scl-wizarding:
+this.dispatchEvent(newEditWizardEvent(element));
+this.dispatchEvent(newCreateWizardEvent(parent, tagName));
+```
+
+**Step 2: Replace with direct dialog management**
+
+Instead of dispatching events to a central wizard system, manage dialog state directly in your plugin component:
+
+```typescript
+// BEFORE: Centralized approach - events go to external wizard system
+export class MyPlugin extends LitElement {
+  private openEditWizard(): void {
+    // Event gets handled by <oscd-wizards> or scl-wizarding
+    this.dispatchEvent(newWizardEvent(wizard));           // OpenSCD
+    // OR
+    this.dispatchEvent(newEditWizardEvent(this.element)); // scl-wizarding
+  }
+  
+  render() {
+    return html`
+      <mwc-icon-button icon="edit" @click=${this.openEditWizard}></mwc-icon-button>
+      <!-- No dialog here - it's handled by external system -->
+    `;
+  }
+}
+
+// AFTER: Direct management - plugin controls its own dialogs
+export class MyPlugin extends LitElement {
+  @state() private showEditDialog = false;
+  @state() private currentElement: Element | null = null;
+
+  private openEditor(element: Element): void {
+    // No events dispatched - just update local state
+    this.currentElement = element;
+    this.showEditDialog = true;
+  }
+  
+  render() {
+    return html`
+      <mwc-icon-button icon="edit" @click=${() => this.openEditor(element)}></mwc-icon-button>
+      
+      <!-- Plugin renders its own dialog directly -->
+      ${this.showEditDialog ? html`
+        <my-edit-dialog 
+          .element=${this.currentElement}
+          @close=${() => this.showEditDialog = false}
+        ></my-edit-dialog>
+      ` : nothing}
+    `;
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Key difference:** Instead of sending events to external systems, your plugin directly controls when dialogs open/close using its own state.
+
+**Step 3: Implement plugin-specific dialogs**
+
+Here are minimal examples showing the modern approach with `newEditEvent`:
+
+**Edit dialog example:**
+```typescript
+// simple-edit-dialog.ts
+import { LitElement, html } from 'lit';
+import { property, customElement } from 'lit/decorators.js';
+import { newEditEvent } from '@openscd/open-scd-core';
+
+@customElement('simple-edit-dialog')
+export class SimpleEditDialog extends LitElement {
+  @property({ attribute: false }) element!: Element;
+  @property() open = false;
+
+  private onSave() {
+    const name = this.shadowRoot?.querySelector('#name')?.value;
+    if (!name) return;
+
+    const update = {
+      element: this.element,
+      attributes: { name }
+    };
+    this.dispatchEvent(newEditEvent(update));
+    this.close();
+  }
+
+  private close() {
+    this.dispatchEvent(new CustomEvent('close'));
+  }
+
+  render() {
+    return html`
+      <mwc-dialog .open=${this.open} @closed=${this.close}>
+        <input 
+          id="name" 
+          placeholder="Name" 
+          .value=${this.element.getAttribute('name') ?? ''}
+        />
+        <mwc-button slot="secondaryAction" @click=${this.close}>Cancel</mwc-button>
+        <mwc-button slot="primaryAction" @click=${this.onSave}>Save</mwc-button>
+      </mwc-dialog>
+    `;
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Create dialog example:**
+```typescript
+// simple-create-dialog.ts
+import { LitElement, html } from 'lit';
+import { property, customElement } from 'lit/decorators.js';
+import { newEditEvent, Insert } from '@openscd/open-scd-core';
+
+@customElement('simple-create-dialog')
+export class SimpleCreateDialog extends LitElement {
+  @property({ attribute: false }) parent!: Element;
+  @property() tagName!: string;
+  @property() open = false;
+
+  private onCreate() {
+    const name = this.shadowRoot?.querySelector('#name')?.value;
+    if (!name) return;
+
+    const doc = this.parent.ownerDocument!;
+    const newElement = doc.createElement(this.tagName);
+    newElement.setAttribute('name', name);
+    
+    const insert: Insert = {
+      parent: this.parent,
+      node: newElement,
+      reference: null
+    };
+    this.dispatchEvent(newEditEvent(insert));
+    this.close();
+  }
+
+  private close() {
+    this.dispatchEvent(new CustomEvent('close'));
+  }
+
+  render() {
+    return html`
+      <mwc-dialog .open=${this.open} @closed=${this.close}>
+        <input id="name" placeholder="Name" />
+        <mwc-button slot="secondaryAction" @click=${this.close}>Cancel</mwc-button>
+        <mwc-button slot="primaryAction" @click=${this.onCreate}>Create</mwc-button>
+      </mwc-dialog>
+    `;
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Usage in plugin:**
+```typescript
+// In your plugin component
+@state() private showEditDialog = false;
+@state() private showCreateDialog = false;
+@state() private editElement?: Element;
+
+private openEditor(element: Element) {
+  this.editElement = element;
+  this.showEditDialog = true;
+}
+
+private openCreator() {
+  this.showCreateDialog = true;
+}
+
+render() {
+  return html`
+    <mwc-icon-button icon="edit" @click=${() => this.openEditor(element)}></mwc-icon-button>
+    <mwc-icon-button icon="add" @click=${() => this.openCreator()}></mwc-icon-button>
+    
+    <simple-edit-dialog
+      .element=${this.editElement}
+      .open=${this.showEditDialog}
+      @close=${() => this.showEditDialog = false}
+    ></simple-edit-dialog>
+    
+    <simple-create-dialog
+      .parent=${this.parentElement}
+      tagName="Function"
+      .open=${this.showCreateDialog}
+      @close=${() => this.showCreateDialog = false}
+    ></simple-create-dialog>
+  `;
+}
+```
