Making disambigs for works that share names...

Go To

As seen in the Do we have a project to disambig works? Ask The Tropers, there are many works pages that seem to need disambigs, by virtue of sharing names and having no differentiation.

This thread is for the discussion and listing of what to do about such pages.

See here for a list of needed disambigs.

should VideoGame.Sonic Origins 2022, as an official work, take precedence over Fanfic.Sonic Origins? or does the latter get to keep a non-disambig title since it came first?

The rule is that official takes precedent in all situations.

alright then the fanfic should be moved to Fanfic.Sonic Origins 2015

I'd go with author instead: Fanfic.Sonic Origins Ri 2

If the only thing the game is colliding with is the fan work, the game should probably be moved to the undisambiguated title.

alright, did so. it's my first time moving a work so apologies for any mistakes. i assume once the old links are cut then Sonic Origins 2022 is good to dis-disambiguate?

Again, please don’t ask anyone to put your drafts somewhere.

The “star” portion of it simply linked to the Wikipedia disambig.

I care less about the draft and more about the information inside said draft.

I could've said to put the info on my sandbox, but I didn't think of it, because I didn't want to bloat it. But I guess that's what folders are for?

Is there not a difference between "I want the text of this draft to restart it" and "I want to text of this draft to read it (for seeing what disambig ideas I ignored to make my draft)"?


Edit: [down] - Oh. huh.

You are asking to access a part of the site you are banned from and asking other people to do things to sidestep said ban. The reason does not matter.

Ah. I see.


So, back on-topic, the Fanfic.Quizzical Series has an entry named "Wonderful", and Fanfic.Wonderful is a different fanfic.

Should we Disambig the latter? Especially since there's other other fanfics with the name?

https://fanfiction.net/s/13157596/1/Wonderful

For instance?

[up] "There are other fanfics with the name" isn't normally enough, but because we do cover another fanfic with the name, we might as well disambiguate it. (By author, because it's a crossover.)

There's also Literature.Wonderful and Podcast.Wonderful, the latter of which is causing a custom title collision.

Speaking of custom title collisions, Film.Flesh And Blood is causing some. Should we rename it to its older title, The Rose and The Sword? Or something else?

Film.Flesh And Blood 1985, okay.


VideoGame.Nostalgia needs to be disambiguated because VideoGame.Nostalgia Bemani exists. What to call the new page? Still just disambig by year even though another uses a series to disambig?

[up] VideoGame.Nostalgia Red Entertainment? Creator disambiguation for video games is rare, but allowed.

Put the request in. Since we should disambig the other Wonderful things, because Heartwarming is split between works, and the custom title issue, where should Literature/ and Podcast/ go?

Similar question with Flesh And Blood.

Podcast.Wonderful 2017 seems obvious.

The novel would also be disambiguated by year, but I'm not sure what year it came out, as its page is an unindexed near-stub.

I'm assuming it doesn't exist. Searching for Wonderful Noland and Claus gets me nothing and the edtor is both gone and had a history of Darth Wiki stuff.

Or, at the very least, we can't prove its existence. Should we throw it into Darth?

I put in a Locked Edit request for such a move.


Since all the recent stuff is / will be done, and all I've got is wick moves...

Shall we pick the Main disambig for Bubble / The Bubble works?

Although, maybe just do Film disambigs. I thought there were other mediums at issue. "Bubble" has a recent Anime at least.


How do I disambig between two 2008 movies? At least the first one's a Short?

Film.Skin 2018 Short has the same issue, I don't know what to call the other one mentioned on SimilarlyNamedWorks.Q To S.


Kings 2018 exists now, so Series.Kings should probably get a disambig move? I guess Kings 2009.

If they are all adaptations then the original doesn't need to be moved.

The trope Space "X" is now wikiworded as one word due to the corporation of the same name.
