Motivation

[edit]

It covers engines, tools, mods and games from a technical viewpoint. Not everything may be relevant here. However, the content is of high quality and quite unique. Matthias M. (talk) 10:49, 7 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion

[edit]
You can also directly use numeric identifiers if you want. Just change the current proposed formatter URL to https://developer.valvesoftware.com/w/index.php?curid=$1 (example), but the final choice depends on the proposer's preference. Some prefer numeric identifiers, others prefer human-readable ones for convenience.
By the way, you can retrieve the numeric identifier on the information page of one of the articles. Regards Kirilloparma (talk) 03:31, 8 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The article name should be pretty stable here. A bot could add the numeric IDs, like we do for Fandom article ID (P6262). It is also easier to mix and match this way. Matthias M. (talk) 10:44, 8 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
