Task/s: Backfill GamerProfiles game IDs (P12001)
Code: https://github.com/GP-9000/GamerProfilesBot
Function details: The bot will regularly update existing video games with the GamerProfiles game ID (P12001) sourced from https://gamerprofiles.com. We plan to update the initial batch of around 55,000 games within a month of approval and then switch to a more relaxed (on-demand) update process.

- Question How do you match the GamerProfiles pages to the items? Jean-Fred (talk) 15:01, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- We have an existing 1:1 mapping in our database for those games we want to backfill. Parnswir (talk) 15:31, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- who is we? BrokenSegue (talk) 19:23, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- and how was the mapping made? BrokenSegue (talk) 19:32, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Ah sorry for the confusion, I forgot to mention I am associated with the company behind GamerProfiles.com, so "we" is the company. The games were originally exported from Wikidata and thus we have the original Wikidata ID for each game. Parnswir (talk) 21:38, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Does your association with the company fall inside paid editing? If so, you are obliged to mention it (on your user page). --Lymantria (talk) 11:06, 8 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks for the clarification, I didn't mean to mislead. I added the paid contributions template to both the bot account and this account. Parnswir (talk) 11:53, 9 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

- @Parnswir: Is Master Jaro (talk • contribs • logs) also your account (uses "we", see Special:Diff/1960163586, Special:Diff/1968406273) or is it another employee? If so, he/she should also disclose the paid editing. Regards Kirilloparma (talk) 06:32, 10 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- @Kirilloparma @Lymantria Thank you for the info everyone! I didn't know about the "paid contributions" info before. And yes, I am a different person :) Since high-quality edits are also in the interest of the company, I have added the paid contributions template to my page as well now. Just let me know if anything else is missing. I've learned quite a bit over the last months, and will keep doing my best to produce helpful edits.

- Please make 50 test edits and link them here. So9q (talk) 10:38, 2 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- The contributions were already made on October 5th 2023: https://m.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/GamerProfilesBot Parnswir (talk) 16:40, 2 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- @Kirilloparma @Jean-Frédéric @BrokenSegue @Lymantria @So9q Thank you for your efforts everyone! Is there anything more we can do to help move this project forward? We would love to add more of the relevant IDs next to the other game edits we make along the way. Any help is highly appreciated :) Master Jaro (talk) 16:35, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Support The origin of the mapping (the entries were originally exported from WD, as stated above) ensures the quality of the edits. I think the test edits look fine. Happy to support this. Jean-Fred (talk) 19:35, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Meanwhile, User:Kirilloparma performed an import of 84K+ GamerProfiles ids − see Wikidata:Edit groups/QSv2/230179. Jean-Fred (talk) 07:39, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
