Hi Gerard, just pointing out that your recent edits to [[Template:Gameids]] (which you actually moved to ''[[Template:id]]''), have actually broken a number of templates. The purpose of that template used to be to convert the Game ID (such as '''IV''') to the full game name with a link (such as [[Grand Theft Auto IV]]). After the recent edits, the functionality has now been reversed to convert ''any'' input to the game ID, and a lot of templates, such as infoboxes, relied on the old functionality. For example, see the [[Yakuza]] article - {{template|infobox gang}} used to convert game IDs to game names, but now it's the actual IDs that are listed on the page. Seeing as the template being utilised by these infoboxes is actually now just a redirect to the new template, should we simply recreate the old template at the old title? Or is the plan to update ''all'' of the infoboxes to stop using it and use something else instead (such as {{template|long}}, and the infobox itself would have to produce the link)?

:Yep, that's all clear - The semantic stuff is really starting to shape together! I'll start to help out with updating all of the pages in the near future.
