I had a question, can a leaderboard on speedrun.com linked to multiple series or linked to only just one?

For example there is a game that was played that features characters and licenses from 3 different series.

@DBcade I don't know if there is a limit or not, but one game can belong to multiple series. For example, "Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga" belongs both to the Lego series and Star Wars series. https://www.speedrun.com/lswtcs

@Saiyanz We can only setup one base game per board, so I changed the base game to KH1FM and KH2FM for both CEs.

@DBcade As @Oreo321 said games can be linked to multiple series. However I don't think a cameo appearance or like a single playable character in a fighting game or something like that would justify linking the game to that series (for example, the Injustice games each feature a playable Mortal Kombat character, but I would never consider either of those part of the Mortal Kombat series).

@Oreo321 & @ShikenNuggets

Thank you for the response. That's good to know. The game in question was Battle Crusher, a Banpresto game, which is a crossover of Kamen Rider, Ultraman, and Gundam Characters.

There is also another PS1 Simple Series 1500 Gundam Wing Vs game, that was also a main line Gundam game and is essentially Gundam Battle Assault 2 ver 0.5.

Seems unimportant but I just wanted to classify things correctly in case anyone was ever for some reason searching for these games, or happened to discover them.

The official title of the game has an ! in the title as shown here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jumping_Flash!_2

Hello, I would like to request Uno (DS) https://www.speedrun.com/uno_ds_skip-bo_free_fall be changed to Uno/Skip-Bo/Uno Free Fall (DS) since that's the release title of the game as it's much more than Uno. Alongside I would like to request this to game a "Mobile" tag https://www.speedrun.com/monopoly_ios_and_android_2011 and for this game https://www.speedrun.com/monopoly_2008 to be changed to Monopoly (2008) since the same version of this game was also released for PS2, PS3, and Xbox360 in 2008.

EDIT: I'm temporarily redacting this request. I finally got to talk with another runner, we might look into another solution for this. I'll admit I was probably a little hasty.

Hey, I would like to request this page that I moderate (https://www.speedrun.com/maui_mallard_in_cold_shadow_pc) to have its title changed to "Maui Mallard in Cold Shadow (Genesis/PC)". If possible, I would also like to request this page that I do not moderate (https://www.speedrun.com/mmcs) to have its title changed to "Maui Mallard in Cold Shadow (SNES)" for clarity, as well as have Genesis and PC delisted as platforms. Finally, I would like to request the Genesis/PC page to be added to the Disney series (https://www.speedrun.com/disney) (First post in this page says to ask a series moderator but I don't see any? And if I recall correctly the way series worked was changed not too long ago, so I'm not sure if it's necessary of me to ask anyone else anymore).

This game was originally released on Genesis, then ported to PC and then again to SNES. The PC port is very similar to the original Genesis version, but the two still have enough differences to warrant them being separated in different categories. The SNES version on the other hand is very different and can easily be considered its own game. About a year ago, I started running the PC version, so I looked for the leaderboards on this site and I only found this page (https://www.speedrun.com/mmcs) which contained runs of only the SNES version. I thought of reaching out to the moderators but I saw both were very inactive at the time, so I opted for a new game request instead due to how different the two versions are and since I'd seen that many games from the era with significant version differences usually got separate pages anyway, and it got accepted. In retrospect I should've probably made at least an attempt to contact the moderators.

Anyway, fast forward to now, @FrancisJAM started running this game on the Genesis version and so he contacted me, saying that he had made a new game request for the Genesis version, which got rejected stating that he should get into contact with the moderators of the existing boards. He tried messaging the moderators of the SNES boards too but hasn't received a response since. I tried making a forum post on those boards as well to try to discuss some options and I tried to contact one of the two moderators personally on twitter since they seemed to have some activity on that account, but haven't received a response there either despite seeing new activity on that twitter account. It's been about a week since our efforts to get in touch with them without a response.

So I went ahead and made the Genesis category on the current PC boards, and I'd like to ask that the page get rebranded to Genesis/PC. The two are going to be in separate categories, but I think it makes sense to host them on the same page since they're very similar anyway. The SNES version on the other hand is quite a lot different so it would also makes sense to have that in a different page from Genesis/PC.

I'd then like to ask for this page (https://www.speedrun.com/mmcs) to get (SNES) appended to it and get Genesis/PC removed as platforms to avoid any possible confusion. I realize since I don't moderate those boards I might not really be able to make this request. If it can't be done right now, what procedure should I follow to ask for this to be done?

Finally as far the request to be part of the Disney series is concerned, the game was made by Disney Interactive, it features Donald Duck and the SNES page is already part of the Disney series. Here's the game's wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maui_Mallard_in_Cold_Shadow.
