   Support Seems like a good addition to me! Anyone want to volunteer to create a Mix'n'match? :) Nicereddy (talk) 23:33, 31 August 2022 (UTC)

@Nicereddy:  Done. See here. Regards Kirilloparma (talk) 00:45, 1 September 2022 (UTC)

•  Support, good addition. -- CptViraj (talk) 16:27, 2 September 2022 (UTC)
•  Comment After digging into the Mix’n’match catalogue: the domain appears to also be game engine version (Q63533016) (see eg CryEngine 3 (Q2347849)) as well as arcade system board (Q631229) (eg sega-naomi). (Overall, it does seem like we should come up with a modeling strategy here: should we have one item for the series like CryEngine (Q870033) (which would have most of the sitelinks) and one for each version?
