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). Matthias M. (talk) 14:59, 11 October 2023 (UTC)- 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)
