I believe the mod recommendations need to be moved to the Fan Fic Recs or Fan Work Recs page, as they aren't officially supported (as far as I know).

You think we can make a Just For Fun page for those mods, similar to the Skyrim mods?
In any case we already have a Game Mod Index, and I don't know if the Doom page needs to duplicate it.

Is that absolutely necessary? I mean, we certainly could do it, but I'm not entirely convinced we need to. It's generally pretty clear from context which game is being talked about in each trope. Doom [1] doesn't have a "Bertruger"? Then presumably it's not talking about Doom [1].
I mean, if we're gonna do it, then okay, it's not exactly hurting anything I suppose...

Moon◊Just calling it like I see it, Shima. The page has bigger problems than just whether users can or cannot identify which character is in which game. It should have a franchise page, first and foremost. The trivia section also attracted a lot of non-trope hooked examples before I cleaned it out a few months back.

Double-checked the pages; we need Franchise.Doom because of the video game, film and comic book pages. I think the OP was asking for a VideoGame.Doom franchise index as well.

Link to TRS threads in project mode here.I agree with making it a franchise page, and creating specific pages for each part. Especially with a new Doom game coming soon.
And yes, there's also the movie and the infamous comic.
If we're looking for precedents, Quake and Duke Nukem both have franchise pages, and specific pages for each installment.

The page for the new Doom should be Doom (2015/2016), for disambiguation purposes.
Sooooo. Expected tree of Doom work pages:
- franchise.doom
- videogame.doom (covers Doom, Doom 2, and Ultimate/Final Doom)
- videogame.doom64 (could possibly be lumped together with the classic Doom page)
- comicbook.doom
- film.doom
- literature.doom (NOTE: we might want separate work pages for the Flynn Taggart Doom novels, the Doom Movie novelisation, and the possible Doom 2016 novelisation that might appear eventually)
- videogame.doom3
- videogame.doom2016
- videogame.brutaldoom
Well, Brutal Doom would presumably be amongst several other mod pages like Batman Doom, Demonsteele, Reelism, et cetera. But otherwise, that sounds about right?
I would probably lump Doom 64 alongside classic Doom, yes. It's distinct from them, but not that distinct.

Moon◊No, I would prefer:
- Franchise.Doom (indexes the mediums)
- videogame.doom (indexes the video games)
- videogame.doom1993 (covers Doom, Doom 2, and Ultimate/Final Doom Doom 64 — until each one is split off; use redirects to this page until pages are created)
- videogame.doom3
- videogame.doom2016
- comicbook.doom
- film.doom
- literature.doom (NOTE: we might want separate work pages for the Flynn Taggart Doom novels, the Doom Movie novelisation, and the possible Doom 2016 novelisation that might appear eventually)
- videogame.doom (indexes the video games)
Brutal Doom already has its own page. I don't think 1993!Doom and Doom 2 should be split in different pages, considering that the only differences between them are the super-shotgun, a couple of new enemies, and the levels, while graphics and gameplay are almost identical.

This page really needs to be split. Doom 3 (which I haven't played) is heavily different from the older DOS games and it's really jarring to see examples from that game as well as the older DOS games mashed together in one page. It's confusing as hell.
There's an example:
I don't even remember a character named Dr. Betruger when I've been playing the games.
These two, for example, I do remember. Doom didn't really have much of a story back then except going through levels and blasting demons and hoping you can make it to the end. The Spider Mastermind is one of the bosses I remember, along with the Cyberdemon and Icon of Sin. At no point do I remember encountering Dr. Betruger.
