Motivation[edit]
Universal Videogame List (Q64447538) is a database of 132,536 video game (Q7889). Their data model is one entry per platform realization (ala GameFAQs) so there can be more that one ID per Q7889-item.
A little usage on en.wp and fr.wp and a couple of other Wikipedias. They’re linked from Lemon Amiga (Q55256762). They have a significant cross-reference feature linking to many sites, including 15K GameFAQs, +3K itch.io, +7K Steam. Jean-Fred (talk) 20:26, 4 November 2019 (UTC)
