This week, we've got some improvements for contributors.

  • Now you can see your comments to the approver on credit submissions.
  • Now you can submit more than one game relation at a time.
  • Approvers: Game relations can now be approved as a group.
  • Fix: Ad blurbs added by identifiers should now show up without re-approving.

While you're looking at game relation code, can we get the ability to add game relations where the parent in the relation is a pending game?

Yes, this would be nice. Don't know if it's technically feasible because "what if the pending game doesn't get approved?" But if it is possible from a tech perspective, being able to add relations to Pending games would be nice.

It's possible right now to add a relation when a pending game is a child in the relation and that carries the same question - "what if the pending game doesn't get approved?". And I found out that's possible because I thought it was a bug when relations from SMT Nocturne HD Remaster to its add-ons were approved before said add-ons were: https://www.mobygames.com/forum/2/thread/267292/smt-nocturne-hd-remaster-add-ons-not-found/

For example, it might make sense to add relations from the "contribute additional content" page when adding a new game?

That's correct, like when you're adding a new compilation entry, you can add "This Compilation Includes" relations to the games it contains.

Please please please. It's always annoying having to go back to a new compilation to add relations.

That is possible. After you contribute a game go to its submission page and grab its ID - https://prnt.sc/uD-lbEmRJAPI

Then go to the relation form and put that in to manually search. It will bring it up even if its pending.

Yeah, but it should definitely not require any esoteric knowledge to make it happen.

Seeing your comments to Approvers on credit submissions is great! This is one thing that often poked me and cost me extra time, glad to see I'll now be able to just immediately view them!

This is such an improvement. Adding relations takes less than half the time/clicking now, and I don't get spammed with 400 approval emails at one.

I don't know where best to submit bug report so I'm posting it here: When the number of entries in a game group is divisible by 50, the game group will generate an extra page that contains nothing.

Example: https://www.mobygames.com/group/6716/lunar-lander-variants/sort:title/page:0/

This group has 150 entries and 4 pages. The 4th page contains nothing.
