Create game pages to collect multiple games

Hello everyone, since i'm starting to experiment with itch's CSS i also wanted to give my games some more order and divide them differently.

My idea was to create 2 main "game" pages but use them to collect links for my personal projects and my team projects instead. Basically i wanted to put 2 "games" on my main profile page (named like personal/team) that if clicked opened the page that collects all the respective game pages' links (and by clicking the game there, it would open the game's page).

It's basically like simulating a website's structure but using itch's game page function, so i wanted to know if that was possible without risking some ban/losing CSS access or whatever.

I don't understand what you're trying to do. Maybe use collections?

I tried using collections but i also wanted to experiment with another solution.

Basically i'd create 2 new project pages and make them the only visible pages on my profile page.  Inside those pages i would not upload a game (like one would normally do) but i'd use them to collect links for my personal/group projects. And when someone clicks on one of those 2 projects it would bring them to the page containing the respective games.

Let me know if i made myself clear (english is not my first language)

That's not the intended use for project pages. You understand they won't be indexed, right?

Yes i know they won't get indexed, but the games inside them will do (hopefully) since they have their own page. These 2 pages will only serve as a way to  organize my profile page and i just needed to know if it could lead to some sort of ban or something

I don't know. It's a very unusual way to use itch.io. Categories are designed for this; you can show them on your profile, they're easier to browse and help discovery.

Ok got it. If i wanto to try it anyways just to see how it comes out do you think i'd better contact itch's support first?

It's an idea, but I don't really know, sorry.

Ok thanks
