It would be perhaps desirable to have some form of notification system, either some built-in message system which I think I've already suggested, or just e-mails with them.
This would be for such cases as when a game gets deleted that people had voted or marked in some other manner.
As such, it would be good if game deletion required some small text to be added explaining _why_ it was deleted which would be included in the notifications and logs. Preferably this would also include the game ID which it was a duplicate of or some such: as in "Duplicate of Dekaron (158530)" could've been supplied when I merged 2Moons to it. Although in that case there were only some votes lost.
Nice so people don't get confused when they have something missing in their lists.
And in related note, when deleting games, if it's because of duplicate entry, there should be an ID field which the deleted entry would redirect to afterwards (with http permanent redirect). This would reduce the chance of broken links with no clues as to what it pointed to originally (such as links to the game IDs with no game name given), especially when linked from elsewhere than UVL itself.

Done, now when deleting the game, a popup appears, there you
have to select the reason (duplicate, do not exists, other) and eventually add an additional info.
The redirect is a good idea, I'm looking for the best solution to handle this.

Separate dedicated DB table with game id pairs would be simple to create and maintain.
