How to handle wikipedia links? #12

Closed dustinvtran closed 2 years ago

dustinvtran commented 2 years ago

The search %s links is simple but not always accurate. Example: "Blasphemous", "Doom".

When adding an entry, how do certain mediums support multiple databases? For example, is it feasible to include Wikipedia as an additional database to each medium? What happens if a search finds a match for, say, TMDB, but the title doesn't appear in HLTB?

At the moment we pick the top HLTB result without getting the user to verify. If no result, then we don't pre-populate the data.

We can replace links for titles from wikipedia to API links (igdb, tmdb, google play), this way, those will be accurate. (With Wikipedia as a fallback)
