Motivation

[edit]

We already have PEGI rating (P908) and I'm surprised this hasn't been proposed yet - unless I somehow missed it. Some games have multiple IDs for different platforms, and others are consolidated into one ID.

Discussion

[edit]
As you can see a single ID can represent several separate games at once, so unfortunately these are not the IDs we are thinking of :/ Regards Kirilloparma (talk) 20:25, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Well that's quite a horrible revelation. I wonder how they even came up with such a terrible system? I didn't encounter any of this with the later IDs, but the lower IDs are definitely problematic. --Lewis Hulbert (talk) 21:55, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'll probably withdraw this at some point but I'm going to leave this open for a bit while I figure out what I want to do. It's definitely not a good fit for an external identifier when some IDs have multiple pages of results (and the website seems to be broken so only the 1st page is visible).
I might make a Mix'n'match even if there's no property, since the data would still be useful for adding a PEGI rating (P908) to many game items. Current usage for that properly is only 5689, so scraping these "IDs" would still be beneficial. Lewis Hulbert (talk) 07:43, 22 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
