System

All places where boxes (and large loose items) can be stored are Places
Boxes given a unique ID string are called Bins.
Each Place page should list all the Places it contains.
Each Bin page should:
- list what's in the box. If the list is complete, it should be marked INVENTORIED [DATE].
- be categorized by what Place it's in, using the convention
Bin prefix conventions:
- BOOKS: boxes containing mostly books
- INV: boxes which are intended to be kept in an inventoried state
- STOR: non-inventoried
- PPW: boxes containing mostly paperwork

The previous system was based entirely on the inventory category, and didn't work very well.
