Could you remove educational game from https://vglist.co/genres?page=2? It's not a video game genre

@Trade: Out of curiosity, what made you notice this specifically?

And Wikidata categorizes it as a game genre, so I'm not sure why vglist shouldn't (as long as it's listed as such in Wikidata, it'd also just get re-added whenever I run another genre import)?

Oh I'm dumb, educational game and educational video game are different. I was looking at educational video game. Yeah I can remove educational game.

Do you think it would be possible to import vglist review scores to WD?

It would be, the scores are exposed in the API. Although given the small userbase on vglist (only about 2000 users total) I'm not sure it'd be particularly valuable data to put into Wikidata.

A lot of video game items lack review scores of any kind, i think it would be an improvement. Would it be possibly to simply ignore games with no score?

Yeah, the API returns the value as null if there aren't any reviews with ratings yet, so it should be easy to ignore those.

Unfortunately there's nothing exposing the number of users who have rated a game (you can own a game without rating it, of course), although I could probably add that information to the API pretty easily.

Sounds good to me.

Still open for the idea? A long time has passed. As long as we ignore games with no reviews.

I still have serious reservations about the value of the data, given that the userbase of vglist is still quite small, and most games would only have a single digit number of users giving ratings. Even with 100 ratings on a single game, I don't feel like that's particularly valuable information to be putting into Wikidata.
