Motivation edit

  Notified participants of WikiProject Video games

VideoGameGeek (Q74864565) also has indexes games along “series” and “franchises”. The distinction is somewhat vague − the former maps rather to video game series (Q7058673) and the latter to media franchise (Q196600), although there are exceptions (as well as miscellaneous groups like the budget ranges) − but in the end moot because the ID system covers both, and either formatter URL works. We already have Mix’n’match catalogues for each. Jean-Fred (talk) 23:00, 25 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
