::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) | ::Oh, this functionality already exists?

::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, though I don't really know how I expected it to work either. 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) | |||
