There are 2 different novels called "The Descendants", one written by Landon Porter and one written by Kaui Hart Hemmings. Literature.The Descendants currently describes Porter's novel, while Film.The Descendants describes the 2011 film based on Hemmings' novel. Can someone split the two, because they're entirely different works?

Can't be done with the current wiki software. Same title = same subpages. Unless you modify the title with year numbers or something.

Is there really anything to be done here? The novel that is the basis of the film does not have its own page, so there's no splitting to be done for the Literature/ namespace, and as I understand it the subpage overlap is a thing that will be fixed with the next site revamp and is just something that ALL pages with title overlap have to deal with right now.

[up]I agree. Nothing to be done here, this thread should be closed.

I'll ask ~Kat103 if they still need this topic.

If nothing can be done then it's fine. Thanks everyone!
