If I understand correctly:
1) Magnus' game already tags the edits with 'Widar'.
2) Magnus' game cannot merge protein and genes if they link to each
other. With 'ortholog' and 'expressed by' Magnus' merging game does
not
contribute to the problematic merges (Magnus email from previously
today: "FWIW, checked again. Neither game can merge two items that link
to each other. So, if the protein is "expressed by" the gene, that pair
will not even be suggested.").
There is nothing more that Magnus can do, - except making an unmerging
game. :-)

In another thread, we are discussing the preponderance

merges of gene/protein items. One of the hypotheses raised to explain
the volume and nature of these merges (which are often by fairly
inexperienced editors and/or people that seem to only do merges) was
that they were coming from the wikidata game. It seems to me that
anything like the wikidata game that has the potential to generate a
very large volume of edits - especially from new editors - ought to tag
its contributions so that they can easily be tracked by the system. It
should be easy to answer the question of whether an edit came from that
game (or any of what I hope to be many of its descendants). This will
make it possible to debug what could potentially be large swathes of
problems and to make it straightforward to 'reward' game/other
developers with information about the volume of the edits that they have
enabled directly from the system (as opposed to their own tracking data).
Please don't misunderstand me. I am a big fan of the wikidata game and
actually am pushing for our group to make a bio-specific version of it
that will build on that code. I see a great potential here - but
because of the potential scale of edits this could quickly generate, we
(the whole wikidata community) need ways to keep an eye on what is going
on.
