Hi,
Today I was trying to clean up my wishlist, but clicking on the x doesnt work. And going to the game store page and clicking on the wishlist heart to unselect it doesnt work either. It stays selected. Any idea why?

Hello,

Works for me. Disable content-blocking add-ons in your browser, like uBlock Origin, then reload the page and try again.

All I can say is: it works for me.
Maybe a little hiccup in your browser/internet connection?

If you have a problem with that site, you can still do it on the store page of the game, Click the heart icon to remove the game from your wishlist

oh well

what about the same icons in Galaxy? I never use the store there, so I don't know, but it could be an option.

Refresh you account, clear your cache, and try again.

It is working for me, I did it minutes ago using the X and the heart

Like some site issues, clear your cache or restart the browser. Worst case i guess log out and log back in.

If it persists... not sure. It's kinda one of those first-world problems.

While this doesn't solve the underlying issue, adding games to the shopping basket automatically removes them from your wishlist.

I think the site is having issues. I was having a hard time embedding URLs to wikipedia earlier.

Safe to say the site's had issues for a while. I believe it to be a corrupted database, where the affected lines need to manually be edited and fixed. The corruption is likely due to a power outage and the Journalism filesystem or it's recent transaction history didn't flush correctly when the outage happened.

But i'd guess that's from some years ago, not recently.

No.
I take it you tried posting a link with a colon or parenthesis in it. Special characters need to be percent-encoded, e.g. replace ( with %28, ) with %29 and : with %3A:
Fallout (video game)
Prince of Persia 2: The Shadow and the Flame

Yup. Wikipedia links. Awesome, thanks! Also, the behavior is weird. Unlisting items doesn't immediately remove it. Sometimes I accidentally remove then re add games on my wish list. It doesn't sound like that is what is going on but it is odd.
