Duplicate IFIDs

Every IFID is supposed to refer to one and only one game ever. (It is allowed to be shared amongst multiple versions of that game, however.) An error of this sort can happen if an author reuses a previous game's project for a new game. This error can also occur if I have the same game twice in my datafile.

Illegal IFIDs

IFIDs can only contain letters, digits, and hyphens. No other characters allowed. Errors of this sort can happen when IFDB editors don't know what they're doing.

Suspicious IFIDs

Some IFDB editors unfortunately invent a string of characters just to fill in the IFID field; this is a serious error. Or they may confuse IFIDs with serial numbers or TUIDs. Here are some values that probably aren't legitimate IFIDs.
