Cheetos Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 I know when LB is searching for metadata on a ROM file, it tries to fetch data from Wikipedia. Is this linked to the WikipediaURL area in the database? Otherwise, I don't see any harm in accepting links to steamdb.info, wikia and even steam itself since lots of information can be found on there in the case of PC games. What do you reckon? I saw a deletion of a non-wikipedia link in the moderation today. It was a link to game's own wikia page. Are these detrimental to how LB works?

Jeffe Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 I would like to know as well. Can we fill the Wikipedia field with links from other sites or are we only taking wikipedia? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Privacy Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 (edited) I recently mentioned this in my post, here's what I wrote in regard to this: At least from using ARC Browser in conjunction with https://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com, on my GPD XD +, I have found that the "Wikipedia" link section doesn't do anything, except allow you to click on it for more information about the game. Which leads me to believe it doesn't have to be a Wikipedia link. Edited November 3, 2019 by Vloshko Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Privacy Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 update: Recently tested my theory with a non-Wikipedia link, works. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
