Woohoo! Estimated wait times being average case instead of worst case will hopefully make a lot of people feel a lot better about their submissions and hopefully will motivate more submitting!
Also great to hear that the pain points around large credit submissions are being addressed! Thanks for that!
Now if we can just get quick links or buttons for formatting text & linking with MobyTags in text areas.. 🥲

Had some issues with looking up games on the main page, where if i didn't add a capital letter the desired result won't even show up.... It's a fickle search indeed

1) On the "old site" we used to have an option for year selection at your own contributions page ( https://www.mobygames.com/user/223301/kam1kaz3nl77/contributions/ ). Is there a chance that will come back, or....?
2) Will there be an option to sort your WIP projects by name/date added/etc, or a search option. Yeah, i know the old site had them at the top of the page and (in my case :P ) i had to scroll down half a mile..... :P .... Now it's flicking pages :P .... Yes, i know, 1st world problems complaining b**** here :P
"BUG" https://www.mobygames.com/game/103997/kingdom-come-deliverance-special-edition/ -> Cannot add base game as part of compilation since it's already set as base game.....

Are you primarily interested in a per-year overview, or filtering individual contribution types (which can be done for some types already, though not conveniently)?

They're currently sorted by approval timestamp, most recent first. Maybe something like sorting by game title could be done... but you'd still have to flip through pages to get where you want to go. Not sure that'd really help much.

Not sure what you mean here. There's nothing stopping you adding a compilation as a member of another compilation, other than sanity. What's it doing?

I think the "This Compilation Includes" game relation needs some fine tuning. More specifically in cases where some games on compilation (for multiple platforms) are exclusive to a certain platforms. For example - Taito Legends 2. Perhaps an optional text box where you can enter a note if a certain game on a compilation is exclusive to, say, PS2 or Xbox or PC and etc.
Also, can the "This Compilation Includes" relation be applied to games with hidden/unlockable games? For example Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, the PS2 and GameCube versions of that game feature a hidden version of the original Prince of Persia, while the Xbox version has Prince of Persia 2: The Shadow & The Flame as well. However the Windows version of the game does not feature either game.

We have a group for these things, but maybe it needs some detailed descriptions linked to the platforms too. https://www.mobygames.com/group/8546/games-with-hidden-unlockable-full-games/

In those cases, I believe the right thing to do will be to write the details in the compilation's description.

Yes, I plan to add this to the additional info page.

Switch scraper is sometimes bugged again:
example -> for scraping this game https://www.nintendo.com/us/store/products/cherry-tower-switch/
the scraper gives the error: No content for url 'https://www.nintendo.com/store/products/cherry-tower-switch/'
I did scrape some other Switch games eralier, no problem, but then all games gave the "no content for" error

I can see you added critic search. Thanks! I always clicked Next! Next! Next!
Didn't notify about it, but thanks a lot, anyway.
