For now, I've opted to just lean into the format of the site and use my lower 'Beaten' flag as HL2B's Completed, then I've got a list to denote those titles I've truly conquered to sort of parse out the more to do titles. I'm wondering if perhaps I should invert that (make the flag 'more to do' for easier discovery), but I'll just keep experimenting for now.
One last general HL2B mindset question for now; is it general practice to add multiplayer titles and the like to the backlog? I repurposed one of my available custom tabs to endless to categorize endless and MP titles, but since they'll never be marked Completed, I'm guessing they're inflating my backlog percentage and no one needs that. The original goal as I worked through my import was to clear the Steam import list so that importing future titles would be easier (using the only show games not on profile checkmark) so I had to find a home for these kinds of titles, but I'm thinking I'd rather just have to sift through that list once in a while instead of artificially inflating my unbeaten games figures.
Appreciate the quick replies from the community to my open air ramblings.
EDIT: Seems I sorted this out on my own already, having removed the backlog checkmark on those endless. I guess I'm good; back to housekeeping this list!

Sounds good; seems I'll likely just migrate my Beaten titles into Completed and take the time to thoroughly fill out the multiple completion timing fields, as I do have notes on the difference between initial beating the game and 100% where relevant. I don't mind the consolidation for the most part, I'm just not sure how I could readily discern within a singular Completed category what titles I've truly Completed (as in no more content) and those that might be worth revisiting for a replay or achievement cleanup or whathaveyou. Is there another flag or label native to the site that I could lean on in that regard?

Looking to potentially migrate from ten years of using Backloggery to HL2B; still plodding through the manual additions and ran into my first hurdle. Backloggery had degrees of completions flags you could throw onto a completed game (originally Beaten, Completed, Mastered; site rebuild condensed these to Beaten and Completed), so I tried to emulate that here, the former style in particular. In my case, I'd flag a game I'd beaten in any way as 'Beaten', a game I'd beaten the hardest difficulty on as Completed, and a game I 100% as Mastered. When they collapsed Completed and Mastered, it muddied up my years long system a bit, but I have notes to differentiate on each title.
Anyways, I found on HL2B the custom tabs and started importing Steam titles based on my records but found quickly that these custom tabs don't seem to flag the game as completed/finished; they're just sorting labels. Is there a way to have a custom tag also be considered completion or must I throw any and all completing games, regardless of thoroughness, into the single Completed category? I suppose I could just double flag these less than 100% games (by checking Beaten (custom tab) and Completed (system tab)) if there's no other way.
It also seems like any other categorization besides Completed hides the completion date field on the game record, so I'm guessing I've talked myself into my own answer with the multiple tags; just looking for some clarity as I get reacquainted with HL2B 10 years later.
