Motivation

Notified participants of WikiProject Video games

RetroAchievements (Q104413574) is a community dedicated to achievements in retrogaming − and as part of that they have a database of video games. It also includes so-called 'Hubs', which are groups of games and are eg series, arcade system boards, genres, developers/publishers − I tried to make the examples representative. Their data model is on the platform-realization, so more than one identfier per Q7889 item. We already have a Mix’n’match catalogue with 1600 matches.

Discussion

Support Just one question: Shouldn't the domain include developers if we're including things like Sonic Team? Nicereddy (talk) 16:36, 23 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Good point, added video game genre (Q659563) & video game developer (Q210167) to the domain at least. for the others hubs, not sure whether using constraint exceptions would be the better way − we can decide later :) Jean-Fred (talk) 09:18, 26 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
