Currently, we have the DS game on the main namespace, the unrelated novel and the film based on it in the literature and film namespaces, respectively. According to wikipedia, there is also a short film and an animated short film by the same name.

We also have the tropes First Contact and First-Contact Math and media with with similar names like Star Trek First Contact and 2010: The Year We Make Contact.

I think this is pretty much a no-brainer, but thought I'd run it past the hive mind first.

Disambiguation away!

BTW, why doesn't the game namespaced page show up as a tab on the other pages?

I don't think "Game" is on the official list of subpage tabs. Eddie would have to help with this.

[up] Move it to Video Game. I think they're supposed to be on the specific type of game.

In theory, we should probably also be using Board Game, but I imagine there probably isn't much interest in creating a page for Saved By The Bell The Board Game.

Rhymes with "Protracted."

Goddamit. I already spent the time going through all the wicks and pointing them to the correct pages.

According to the Namespace page, Game is the namespace we are supposed to use.

EDIT: According to the Article Count tool, we have 131 articles in Game, 26 in Video Games, and 7 in Video Game. If we're supposed to use a specific namespace for types of games, I think people (including me) aren't getting the memo.

[up] Same here. I've put stuff in the Game namespace as opposed to Board Game, Video Game, etc.

[up] We were trying to split it because of the overload and conflicts with video games based on RP Gs, but then the situation happened and yeah...

So... move it to Videogame or Videogames? -_- Or leave it?

If it is supposed to be in Videogame or Videogames, the Namespace page needs to be edited, too.
