•  Question If all ModDB companies are on IndieDB as the motivation suggests, should this proposal not be for IndieDB instead? Lewis Hulbert (talk) 14:29, 11 October 2023 (UTC)

  As i said not all ModDB companies are on IndieDB Trade (talk) 14:40, 11 October 2023 (UTC)

•  Support I purposefully did not submit ModDB companies because modders are mostly non-noteable groups. They should be covered by Wikidata:Property proposal/Indie DB company ID instead, even though there is a lot of overlap. I noticed that the sites differ slightly in content: https://www.moddb.com/company/valve and https://www.indiedb.com/company/valve show different games, so that might justify us mirroring the content like we do for games with Mod DB game ID (P6774) and Indie DB game ID (P6717).

•  Comment I just wanna point out that modders use a completely different identifier system than game companies do. Call it 'Mod DB user ID' or something like that. --Trade (talk) 15:02, 11 October 2023 (UTC)

  You submitted this entry... Who are you talking to? Matthias M. (talk) 15:05, 11 October 2023 (UTC)

  You said that modders are mostly non-notable so i pointed out that the identifier will not be used for modders since they have their own ID system--Trade (talk) 15:51, 11 October 2023 (UTC)

  They have the same ID system for groups. See https://www.moddb.com/company/quaker-craft-games I agree that "company" is a misleading name, but that is how they built the platform. On second thought I don't think this is a problem. Matthias M. (talk) 19:42, 11 October 2023 (UTC)
