The database section is the core of the website - most other sections rely on data added to it in order to work (for example, you can't add a game to your gamelist or wishlist if it's not in the database).
Database Sections
Currently, there are 7 major database sections:
Companies, Franchises, Games, Hardware, People, Stores and Tags.
From now on, we'll refer to each "item" in each section as an object. For example, Mario 64 is a Game object, and Nintendo is a Company Object.
We'll talk more extensively about each section later, but here's what they all have in common:
- A listings page, where you can see existing objects and sometimes filter them.
- A details page, where you can see detailed information about a single object.
- New objects can be added, usually through the listings page.
- Existing objects can be edited, usually through the details page.
- Existing objects cannot be deleted by normal users, only by the staff.
- They can be searched using the search feature.
Keeping the database coherent and well-kept is fundamental to ensure the correct operation of the website, so please report bad content when found, and let us know if you have any problems, doubts, suggestions or anything else - you can reach us in various ways, check the Further Help section of the help page.
