Add Status Filters to the Games Database Changes Page

LaunchBox Games Database

šŸ“‹ Summary

Add filtering options to the LaunchBox Games Database Changes Status page so users can view changes by status.

ā— Problem

The Changes Status page can contain many submitted changes across multiple pages. Users currently have to manually scan through large lists to find specific types of changes, such as pending, approved, or denied submissions.

This makes it harder to review contribution history or check the status of recent database submissions.

šŸ’” Proposal

Add status filter options to the Changes Status page.

Filters could include:

  • All

  • Pending

  • Approved

  • Denied

The selected filter should reduce the list to only changes matching that status.

šŸ§© Use Cases

  • View only pending submissions that still need review

  • Check which recent submissions were approved

  • Find denied changes without paging through unrelated items

  • Review contribution history more efficiently

šŸ“¦ Benefits

  • Makes the Changes Status page easier to navigate

  • Reduces time spent scanning through multiple pages

  • Improves transparency for Games Database contributors

  • Helps users track their submissions more efficiently

āš ļø Considerations

Filters should work with pagination so users can browse filtered results across multiple pages without losing the selected status.

    It occurs to me you could use this currently existing page to implement this:

    https://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/account

    It already has text listings of the numbers of all, pending, approved, and rejected. Just change them to links to pages with the lists filtered.

    Filter options for Changes Status page

    Iā€™d like to have the option to filter the Changes Status page (

    https://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/changes) so we can see only pending, approved, denied items without having to look through 100s of items on multiple pages.
