The item above never existed as a Steam entry. Not listed on SteamDB. Can we convert this to the Anniversary Edition? I believe this was a bundle you could buy on Steam as Gold Edition, but didn't have a SteamID attached to it.

This entry doesn't exist on SteamDB. It was converted to Anniversary Edition. I can't seem to find the original header image anywhere.

I have added the Steam IDs to item number field on both of those entries.
Steam, along with other digital platforms, rename game entries on their site often. Steamdb is helpful to find when this happened, but some past history needs and account to see it.

There are two ways you can update these entries. Using 22231 as example

1. Change item name to Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War: Anniversary Edition
2. put into alt-name field: Gold Edition
3. put into description: originally called Gold Edition

If you do have a steamdb account and can view the Update History to be able to see the old names, then description can be updated to include the dates the old names were used. If you can find this info, then you can replace 3 above with something like Originally called Gold Edition. Was renamed to Anniversary Edition on MM-DD-YYYY.

In summary, a straight-up rename on an entry is likely to be rejected unless you also update the alt-name and description.
