One thing I keep running into with PCGW metadata is having to remove the edition from a game name in order to find the base edition, in cases where the edition is not listed in PCGW's database. Ideally the data would be added to PCGW's database for each one, though I find there is a lot of commonality in the edition labels in use, which may allow for a client-side fix. After doing a full name search with no results, the plugin could search again while removing the edition label. If implemented, this should have an option in settings, as some people may want only an exact edition match.

Common edition labels include:

Anniversary Edition
Complete Edition
Definitive Edition
Deluxe Edition
Enhanced Edition
Extended Edition
Game of the Year Edition
Gold Edition
Premier Edition
Standard Edition
The Director's Cut
Ultimate Edition

Though some games use variations of the above;

Complete
Enhanced Plus Edition
Gold
GOTY Edition
GOTY
The Complete Edition
Ultimate Collection

While others use custom labels, though [X] Edition is still common;

Eldritch Edition
Farewell Edition
Remeowstered
Trials of Fear Edition
Voidheart Edition

A bit of context: I had to manually match 70+ things in my library specifically with an edition mismatch issue, and was thinking that even if I take the time to update PCGW for all of those, there will always be new additions popping up due to the incentives for making them, and those new editions won't usually make it into the PCGW database in a timely fashion.
