Idea for better mainsite-Wiki integration

[VinnyVideo]

The MFGG Wiki has been in a state of limbo for many years. It's not officially decommissioned, but it's not super-active either. It gets enough traffic from Web searches that we've kept it around, and if we did get rid of it, we'd suddenly be causing a lot of interesting content (like the entire of library of Waligie games) to become lost media.

One idea I've had would be to add MFGG Wiki links to mainsite submissions. For example, the mainsite page for Revenge of the Walrus might have a spot for a link to the Revenge of the Walrus page on the MFGG Wiki.

This would give the MFGG Wiki a more valuable purpose and might even help MFGG's SEO. It would take a bit of effort for me to create a new database column for games and then manually add links to mainsite games that have Wiki pages.

This isn't a high priority, but I wanted to have this in Suggestions so we can figure out what upgrades should be prioritized for the future.

What if instead of manually adding links, the links are made automatically? Sure, that will lead to a lot of pages that don't exist, but the upside is that it will be automated, so if the page is created in the future then it won't have to be linked manually.

Sometimes I'm so focused on being nice I forget to be good.

I agree on the integration, the wiki has valuable content of well-known and obscure fangames. And with the wiki integration, it can provide extra information not covered on the game submission page.
