Actually, K DTM 90i is, and has always been, the code for the story, while 
DTM 1990-2 is a code referring to the issue it was published in.

Actually, those have changed at least twice.

Regarding Family Trees:

When the tree was first added to Inducks, we used two very similar codes for 
it, both starting with an 'R'.  One of the codes was for the variant with 
Gyro, Daisy & AMJ while the other one was for the variant without those 
people.

Covers and illustrations which don't have any official code, or for which 
that code is unknown, usually get a code based on one of its first 
publications.  For example, the cover of Anders And & Co. 1/1949 is listed 
as DC AA1949-01 (where 'D' = Denmark & 'C' = cover or illustration).  We 
thought that it was a bad idea to use these R-codes, and decided to change 
all of them (not only the trees, but also a few other items) into codes 
similar to DC AA1949-01.  The result was an XSC-code for one of the variants 
and an XNC-code for the other one, 'XS' meaning Sweden and 'XN' meaning 
Norway.

It was later discovered that both variants of the tree had the official code 
D 11221, so it was changed again.  This is the code we currently use for 
both variants.  The variant without Gyro, Daisy et al is marked with a 
[changes:version without Gyro etc.], or something similar to that.

Regarding other changes:

There are often code changes in Inducks, mainly because new information 
about some story has been discovered somewhere.  Sometimes we notice that 
the same story has got two different codes in Inducks, and then one of them 
has to be removed.
