• When you click the link, the entry does not expand (on Chrome) Matthias M. (talk) 20:58, 2 December 2023 (UTC)

  Yeah, I know, but if you reload the page it does. Jean-Fred (talk) 18:18, 3 December 2023 (UTC)

•  Oppose Those are not IDs: if another game is inserted alphabetically into the list, the numbers will change. Dexxor (talk) 08:39, 3 December 2023 (UTC)

  Yeah I realized only when making the proposal :/ I went ahead anyways because my understanding is that the database is frozen − no additions will be made. But I agree the grounds are a bit shaky here. Jean-Fred (talk) 18:19, 3 December 2023 (UTC)

• Sadly  Oppose, per Dexxor. Unfortunately it's not an ID, but on the positive side we've still got the Mix'n'match catalogue to improve the coverage. Lewis Hulbert (talk) 17:50, 13 December 2023 (UTC)

 Withdrawn I agree with the conclusion of Dexxor and Lewis Hulbert. I was aware these were, at best, "pseudo-IDs", but I thought them at least somewhat stable. The fact that they follow alphabetical order and would thus change should a game be added to the database, as Dexxor pointed out, definitely disqualifies this. I might email the database and suggest perma-IDs as improvement. Jean-Fred (talk) 18:59, 13 December 2023 (UTC)
