::: No longer implemented, it worked before but could be better, re-implementing with this new cat should start picking these IDs again for these featuring games. [[User:Lucario|Lucario]] ([[User talk:Lucario|talk]]) 01:55, 26 January 2022 (CET)

::Oh, yes, disambig category can stay and then have this new category to help Infobox VG pick up shared IDs for featuring titles. If we stick with using Disambig category and if none of them use 6 letters for GameID-like, might be able to get away without this, but it's better to have this for foolproof, would prefer not to give out [[:Category:Not GameID]] to non-redirect pages. And of course not to have redirect pages show up on disambig, it'd be crazy! There's something interesting that might work, a redirection that Phantasy uses, if we use {{tl|for2}} under there along with the redirection, will dpl pick up that id for that another game? Seems you already tried that and redirection seems to work okay, dpl remains untested but look promising. [[User:Lucario|Lucario]] ([[User talk:Lucario|talk]]) 01:48, 26 January 2022 (CET)

::: Using {{tl|for2}} for the check probably works, but do we really want to use it? It's a generic template we might need for other uses in future, including cases where associating GameIDs might not be wanted. I went with the test from [[GKREB2]] to see if multiple links on a redirect page doesn't break it (e.g. page stops redirecting) and fortunately it does not. Considering the redirect pages already have some bits of extra information in some cases (see [[SJDY41]] or [[SJDZ41]] for examples) it's probably best to have the linking happening there (plus [[:Category:Shared GameID]] so the DPL check picks it)... - [[User:mbc07|mbc07]] ([[User talk:mbc07|talk]]) 06:25, 26 January 2022 (CET)
