We can already filter searches by page type, so index clutter doesn't seem a huge concern. I would support cleanup at the database level: we duplicate information about the game for each page about it. But of course changing the database structure would require a very careful undertaking.

I don't think we need a radical transformation.  A few years back, Fergus added a "GameID" column to the Item table.  The goal is to populate that with a unique value for each game so that all the pages for a given game can be readily associated.  I started populating it but didn't get too far.  I'm willing to go back to it if there is a desire to make use of it for a better game-centric organization.
