Add alternative names to an existing game title

Joe555 3 years ago updated by sales 3 years ago 1

Add the option for users to put alternative names to a game already listed to prevent another user from creating and repeating the same game by mistake or not finding the game when searching.

Examples:

"Root Letter" and "√Letter"
"Sonic the Hedgehog" and "Sonic 1"
"Sonic the Hedgehog 2" and "Sonic 2"
"Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" and "TMNT"
"Skate" and "S.K.A.T.E."
"NERO Nothing Ever Remains Obscure" and "N.E.R.O."
"Alien³" and "Alien 3"
"FEAR 3" and "F.3.A.R."
Clive Barker's Jericho" and "Jericho"
"Mark McMorris Infinite Air" and "Infinite Air"

In other words, to be able to add how they are also better known or a.k.a.

I create this post because of the duplicate that I found here with "Mark McMorris Infinite Air" and "Infinite Air" I am almost 100% sure that a user duplicated it by not finding the game with any of the 2 names

Thank you very much for reading this

I've deleted that duplicate Mark Morris listing.  

Thank you for letting me know about this.  We have some of these aliases in the system already for search results and sales inference, but not listed on the page anywhere.  I'll think about how to implement this so users can see it OR let users add their own aliases.
