at the moment if multiple works share the same name but are in different mediums they still share the same linked pages. for example Finders Keepers (https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/FindersKeepers) refers to a Stephen King book, a game show and a webcomic, none of which have any connection to each other. their main pages are separate but not so for the other pages

I suggest that instead of

https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Trivia/FindersKeepers

for example, it should be

https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Literature/Trivia/FindersKeepers

https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Series/Trivia/FindersKeepers

https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Webcomic/Trivia/FindersKeepers

and instead of having "Literature", "Series" and "Webcomic" links along with Trivia, Quotes, etc there should be one option for "Namesakes" that links to the "may refer to" page

obviously if the other mediums are of the same source material (for example a movie of a book or a tv show spin-off of a movie) then sharing the same sub-pages should be left as is

Our current software only supports a single-path namespace. What you are asking is beyond its capabilities. The solution we use is to disambiguate the titles by year of release or, if they share that, by author.
