I've been a big supporter of the collection feature by submitting new games, adding info when needed, and reporting duplicates and such that need to be deleted since it launched. But recently, I've noticed that none of the duplicates that I've reported have been deleted (like the many games with "[import]" in their title that were copied from GamesRadar's database) nor have changes to the wiki been approved, which I saw one particular wiki submission that had been waiting for approval since December. It seems like whoever is generally in charge of keeping track of this stuff has dropped the ball big time and I would like to ask for some transparency on the situation to see why this has happened and what will be done to fix this issue.
While I'm here, I've got a list of suggestions for changes to the database that I think would improve the overall experience:
-Allow for multiplatform submissions without needing to resubmit the game for each platform.
-Allow for multiplatform titles that can be played on multiple systems (PlayStation Minis that can be played on both PSP and PS3) that aren't separate games.
-Add a field for a link to the official thread to make it easier to find the main thread to talk about the game with others. Maybe allow for additional links to clan/league threads.
-Make the extra info that doesn't appear on a game's profile appear on the profile or get rid of it from the wiki page.
-Remove all Wii versions of Virtual Console games and PS3/PSP versions of PS1 Classic games since they're just rips of the original cartridge or disc and have not been upgraded for the Wii, PS3, and PSP.
-When submitting a new game, it deletes the release dates from the wiki if you put that in there, so that needs to be fixed.
-Add a link to submit new box art since the original box art may be out of date, wrong, or low quality.
-Allow for a list of Now Playing games and Beaten games so that you can better manage the list and for the former to be a more persistent list that includes games you may or may not still own.
I think that's everything, so I look forward to some official response to the request for transparency along with some feedback on the ideas that I've presented. Thanks.
