Classification
There are different ways of designing this "database"'s classification system using MediaWiki.
Categories
The most obvious classification system is with categories. Unfortunately, these can quickly clutter up the bottom of pages if there are too many. Categories could be named like namespaces (i.e. Game:Tomb Raider) but why not just use namespaces then to reduce having to type the link (:Category:Game:Tomb Raider vs. Game:Tomb Raider)?
Namespaces
Perhaps the next most obvious classification system is with namespaces for games (game:), companies (company:), engines (engine:), characters (character:), effects (effect:), etc.
Dynamic Page List
Using mw:Extension:DPL, lists of pages linking to other pages (as well as pages in categories and namespaces) are possible. This may be the best option that will allow all classification schemes to be included/used.
Comparison table
So far I've tried 2 extensions for the comparison table but one is easy-to-use but very limited and the other is more difficult to use and more customizable (but still not enough for my needs).
