Minions: 251,328 potential interactions. Maybe more. Anyone interested in helping?

So someone in my FC was talking about minion interactions and I recalled that someone in Square Enix (possibly Yoshi-P) once said that he isn't sure we'll ever know every single interaction that minions can do. Now, I think individually every one of them has most likely been discovered, but not reported. I was curious if anyone would be interested in collating a spreadsheet as a group effort, eventually establishing every single interactions minions can make with:

1) Other minions when idling together (this is the biggest part of work)
2) The player, when they do an emote (also a lot of work to cover all emotes)
3) The player, when they do something other than an emote - eg. idling, attacking, crafting, gathering.

Ambitious, I know, but I wonder if there are enough people who will also be interested in having all this information so they too can know what their minions are truly capable of in one easy reference sheet.

If there is interest, I have the skeleton sheet ready for everyone to start working on together as an open access sheet (I'll also keep a hard copy of it that would be locked, just in case). If no interest, no worries, I'll let go of the pipe dream!

Could be done over the course of weeks or months, of course. Will inevitably involve a lot of "nope, nothing for this one either", but some people like myself can probably push through a good chunk of that.

Wait... so all the possible interactions is not something that is catalogued in a website like Garlandtools?

I'm not overly into minions, so I just assumed the possible actions were readable somehow in their databases or some other way.

Nothing that I'm aware of. A few reddit threads, a few forum threads, but no database. There was once a site called FFXIVMinion which I believe held a lot of data, but I don't think it was complete, just a list of reported ones to the site. No word on any kind of verification on which possibilities had been checked and which had not.

If it's possible to datamine this information that would probably be faster than this method - but I just don't know if anyone is willing to do that, if it is possible.
