[up]How to Create a Work's Page

Nope. We aren't here to do your job for you. If a work is popular enough, someone else may be along to create an article for it, but we can't force that process. You're the fan, the person who's familiar with the story and its tropes, so why aren't you writing the article? Don't be shy; we're patient with people as long as they ask for help.

Link to TRS threads in project mode here.

I'm not familiar with Ben 10, though. I was hoping someone who is could make it.

All of Film.Jurassic Park's subpages are under under Jurassic Park (1993); I'd prefer to move the movie and all of its subpages to Jurassic Park I to be in line with Jurassic Park III, and because "Jurassic Park (1993)" implies there's another movie with the same title.

Despicable Me currently covers both the series as a whole and the first film.

Trouble Cube continues to be a general-purpose forum for those who desire such a thing.

Puyo Puyo currently lumps the entire series, including its predecessor, into a single page.

Mazinger Z appears to cover both the original series and the franchise as a whole.

Probably make a main Mazinger page to put this stuff on.

Bringing this thread back from the dead to bring up this information.

As I brought up in this ATT, Theatre.The Odd Couple is a mess. The page refers to both the 1970 series and the franchise as a whole, while Series.The Odd Couple refers to the 2015 series specifically, with Series.The Odd Couple 2015 as a redirect. Series.The Odd Couple 1970 redirects to the Theatre/ page.

There's also Pippi Longstocking (which covers the whole franchise, as none of the adaptations have pages of their own) and Harry and His Bucket Full of Dinosaurs (which mostly refers to the animated series despite being in the Literature/ namespace note ).

Splitting the example sections into folders by work would be a great start, since they'll have to be divided up anyway to split the pages, and it'll be a lot easier to figure things out once they're organized.

Pikmin covers the entire trilogy plus the spin-off game.

Number one fan of characters that appear only once and ultimately were a recurring character either in disguise or trying a new image.

Kotetsu Jeeg currently covers the sequel series Kotetsushin Jeeg too. Should we split them?

Diablo could probably be split into VideoGame.Diablo (series-wide) and VideoGame.Diablo I (first game; currently redirects to the former). The tropes are already soft-split on the page; we'd probably just need a description for the first game

VideoGame.Doom could be moved to VideoGame.Doom I to separate it from Franchise.Doom (its immediate sequel is VideoGame.Doom II)

Film.Guardians Of The Galaxy was just moved to Film.Guardians Of The Galaxy The Movie by ~General Gigan. While I support the titlespace separation, I disagree with the method of disambiguation chosen. It also uses the custom title to hide the "The Movie" part, which is not allowed. (I have submitted a new custom title.)

Yeah, we definitely try to avoid disambiguating works by putting the medium in the title. It should be at Film.Guardians Of The Galaxy 2014.

Agreed. "The Movie" should only be included if it's part of the official title.

On Pikmin, I could create a page for Pikmin 3, since that’s the only one of the three games I have ever played. If I ever get the time to do so, but it’s not like it’s a matter of great urgency.

[up] Go for it. The sequels use numerical ordering, so the first game's page can be moved to VideoGame.Dead Space 1

So how do I do that? I’m gonna guess copy and pasting the text to that new page?

Guardians Of The Galaxy The Movie was chosen because of the fact that the character page was titled “The Movie” and it came prepackaged with the custom titling, I had no part in the title.

I’m going ahead and separating Dead Space 1 from it’s franchise page. How do I create pages such as the Nightmare Fuel page and delete the original?

Ok I figured it all out. How do we delete the original pages to just have the franchise page?
