We really need a way to seperate Comic Books, Television Series and movies different WM Gs, Crowners, Trivias, characters, etc.

I was just at the Young Justice (comic) page, and none of the extra stuff is for the comics, it's all the TV show.

I have a similar request, we really need buttons for all the different media. For a work like Iron Man, that has incarnations in pretty much every established media, it is a little confusing to have the main, TV show and movie link at the top of the page in button form, but the anime link in the description, as a text link.

I'd personally prefer the ability to use namespace and subpages. But I don't think it works properly.

The current solution is to make something like YMMV.Iron Man Anime and a disambiguation page on YMMV.Iron Man.

Whatever happened to the double namespaces thing?

Really, being able to have ItJustBugsMe/Film/Superman and ItJustBugsMe/Comic/Superman would solve so many problems.

I'm just gonna bump this, if bumping even works, because god dammit, it's just a good idea to do it, somehow.

It's been said before : it would need a large overhaul of the code to make double-namespaces work. It's thus low on priorities.

What you need to do is made a disambig page at Characters.Young Justice and then have it link to Characters.Young Justice Comic and Characters.Young Justice TV. Make a disambig page. It's not that hard.

Not hard, but it would have to be done for every other cross-media article as well. That's the problem. I only used the Young Justice page as an example because that's what I first noticed it on. Look at the other posting, about Iron Man. It's in Comics, Film, Cartoons, anime...all with their own pages, yet sharing the Characters, Moments, YMM Vs, etc etc etc.

Not necessarily. I know several of those pages are soft-split, which is fine.

The ancillary pages have to be shared 'cause we don't have double namespaces yet. It's inconvenient but there doesn't seem to be an alternative.

This is just getting a wee bit inconvenient when totally unrelated media share the same title, Taxi (the TV show) and Taxi (the movie series) for example.

This is an item on the official development list; don't worry. It's just rather complex in execution.

In that case better use folders for now, so we have less pages to cut later.
