=== ID abnormalities ===
Currently the wiki is undergoing an effort to try and understand some of the odd IDs that can appear. Examples of this would be titles which have a different first three characters for different region releases (usually happens with Japanese versions), special Walmart/Best Buy release versions, strange region codes, etc. In these cases, it's recommended to add a little sentence on the ID's page below the redirect with a few details about the ID. For example, for games with multiple European releases (most often P/X/Y/Z region codes), these can be differentiated most easily by language, so listing the languages for each ID on the redirect page can help clarify where each ID saw release. It won't interfere with the function of the ID or with the redirect, unless a second <nowiki>[[link]]</nowiki> is added to the ID page after the redirect. This currently breaks some wiki functionality and should not be done.
