::Oh, this functionality already exists? That's awesome. So if I understand this right, when there's a missing ID on the wiki, but it's in usage statistics, this page updates and adds the ID along with showing the all time playcount from the gathered data; or, if it wasn't played, it doesn't appear on the list. Is that right? My only fear with deleting unconfirmed IDs is actually one of degrees. For example, with [https://wiki.dolphin-emu.org/index.php?title=Talk:Epic_Mickey_2:_The_Power_of_Two Epic Mickey 2], the K region ID I'm almost certain exists because there's Korean covers, but I can't find a back scan to be 100% sure that's the right ID; however, the F region ID I'm pretty sure doesn't exist from the evidence I've found. If for example we were to delete both as unconfirmed, yes we can add the K region right back afterwards, but this would actually break the right click wiki functionality in Dolphin for the small subset of Korean Dolphin users. Maybe not a big deal for one game, but I've found a LOT of unsubstantiated IDs, and if we were to go through and start deleting them and seeing what happens I'm afraid of the end user impact of that. That's one reason I opted for a slower approach with a category. - [[User:Xerxes|Xerxes]] ([[User talk:Xerxes|talk]]) 11:50, 11 June 2017 (CEST)

::The missing-gameid.txt I later found out only registers when people follow an ID link from Dolphin and land on a page creation (or at least I think I remember that? I can't find it again...), which was the exact situation I was worried about having happen. So, that's even more volatile than I thought. Basically if we use that tool in the way you suggested, we'd be sitting back and deliberately waiting for users to have functionality broken for them, so it'll register on the list. That does not seem like good design. - [[User:Xerxes|Xerxes]] ([[User talk:Xerxes|talk]]) 13:59, 19 August 2017 (CEST)

== Infobox Clean Up ==
The Commodore VC revision seems like a reasonable way to resolve the issue there. I had intended to try to revise the handling in the infobox code, but it's been a while now and I'm still unclear when I'd get around to it.

== GameID and GameTDB ==
Just a quick note regarding GameTDB and GameIDs. They actually provide a nice inventory file /w all their GameIDs in one spot at the top of [http://www.gametdb.com/Wii/Downloads]. It seems to be a bit easier to do searches in. It can also especially be helpful for identifying titles with multiple releases (i.e. different EU language sets), since they tend to be sequential in the listing.

:I didn't know about this, that's cool. I'm gunna have to think about how I'll fit this into my workflow. I think the main site and previous/next IDs feature is a bit more useful for this purpose because of the covers and release info, but ctrl-F on a .txt document is obviously way faster than searches through google's api. - [[User:Xerxes|Xerxes]] ([[User talk:Xerxes|talk]]) 23:04, 25 February 2017 (CET)
== Mass adding missing [[Template:VideoGallery]] to pages ==
It may be better handed off to someone who has access to [[Special:MassEditRegex]]. I'm sure there will be more than 500 pages. 500 is the maximum number the DPL can display so it can't be trusted. [[User:Lucario|Lucario]] ([[User talk:Lucario|talk]]) 08:44, 21 August 2017 (CEST)
:Yeah probably, I was just bored. I like mass editing pages. I did the As and most of the Bs.
:Wait... I forgot that the Dolphin wiki's DPL can't sort alphabetically, that list is sorted by last edit. You really saved me there, I thought I was like 1/10th done. - [[User:Xerxes|Xerxes]] ([[User talk:Xerxes|talk]]) 09:20, 21 August 2017 (CEST)
