Motivation

Gry-Online (Q55613038) is a Polish website and online database of ~30K video games. It has two websites: the Polish gry-online.pl, and the English gamepressure.com − the ID system is shared between the two (hence two formatter URL). Significant usage on the Polish Wikipedia (with gry-online), quite some on English Wikipedia and a couple of others. Jean-Fred (talk) 20:28, 8 February 2020 (UTC)

Discussion

•  Support It need title in the url otherwise it linking to the most interesting materials instead of game page. See Eurohunter (talk) 21:35, 8 February 2020 (UTC)
•  Support Like Eurohunter wrote - it should be string datatype. Sir Lothar (talk) 13:51, 21 February 2020 (UTC)

  If the proposal is already in “Ready”, please change-it back to not ready if you are going to make significant changes to the proposal.

  I disagree, because crash-time-iv-the-syndicate/z11 is clearly not an Identifier but a slug (which have a habit to not be very stable). The numeric IDs are likely to be way more stable. If it’s just a formatter URL ; then let’s use the gamepressure one which resolves cleanly to the “more interesting material”. (see eg https://gamepressure.com/game.asp?ID=1) Jean-Fred (talk) 17:13, 21 February 2020 (UTC)

  Yes, I think using gamepressure.com would be OK, as they didn't change formatter and still use numeric ID. Sir Lothar (talk) 10:14, 24 February 2020 (UTC)

• @Eurohunter, Sir Lothar: That's very uncool to radically change a proposed identifier like that without even pinging the proposer. I agree with Jean-Fred, if this is an ID then a numeric ID is much preferable. I  Oppose (struck since this was changed back again, thanks) the current modified version of this proposal. ArthurPSmith (talk) 18:31, 21 February 2020 (UTC)
  • @ArthurPSmith, Jean-Frédéric: Sorry, I thought that if the discussion is still going on, then user can modify proposal (like "Be bold" on Wikipedia). My mistake - I'll remember that next time. I still think that it's better to send reader to the main site of entity (like [1]), rather than to side materials. Sir Lothar (talk) 15:27, 22 February 2020 (UTC)
• @ArthurPSmith: the first problem here is that you marked it as ready when it wasn't ready (the only support vote wanted the property to look differently then it's proposed). It has no support votes in the form that was proposed and thus shouldn't be marked as ready in it's current form. Please read discussions before marking properties as ready.

  For clarity, I’m the one who remarked it as ready − since it seemed to me that Sir Lothar agreed with the numeric ID as long as the formatter URL would be changed to https://gamepressure.com/game.asp?ID=$1 Jean-Fred (talk) 11:33, 12 January 2021 (UTC)

  Exactly. It's practically the same as Polish one (translated from pl -> en). Sir Lothar (talk) 10:21, 9 August 2021 (UTC)

@Jean-Frédéric, Eurohunter, Sir Lothar, ArthurPSmith, ChristianKl: @AntisocialRyan, Arbnos, Matlin, Amitie 10g:  Done Gry-Online game ID (P9877) Pamputt (talk) 09:22, 12 September 2021 (UTC)

@Pamputt: gra.asp?ID=1 is not game identifier. gry/-/z11 is correct identifier of game. gry/-/za5975 for gra.asp?ID=22901. Eurohunter (talk) 08:15, 13 September 2021 (UTC)
