Editing the current database could be a lot faster with a specialised clone function. I'm thinking of all those earlier entries in the database with no composer and ratings, only one release date and lacklustre Wikipedia descriptions that needs editing. The way it works now is that you need to edit each entry and manually copy paste all needed info, which is a massive hassle for multiplatform games (some games are released on 10+ platforms) where you'd like to update one version and clone that content to the rest but instead have to copy paste the same info over and over and over again.

I'm thinking we could have something like an input field on the edit page where you write in the ID of the game you want to fetch info from and have that info overwrite title, alt-titles, description, source, genre, developer/publisher, dates, ratings, composer and website (so basically the same info as the regular clone function) while still remaining on the edit page so we can change any content before saving the entry. Fixing the current database would be significantly faster with something like this.

Discussed with @bergdoll on Discord. What we're going to plan to do is add two "sections" to the edit game page. The first will be something like:

Copy Information From: $gameid
Copy Information To: $gameids

This will allow database administrators to pull game information from another game and "apply" it to the game their on and then another option to "push" the games information (of the page you're on) to other game IDs.
