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.
The List
- Film.The Lost World
- Series.Utopia
- Series.Kidnapped (2006 NBC Cop Show) (20 wicks)
- Series.The Street
- VideoGame.Star Wars Battlefront
- VideoGame.Star Wars Battlefront II
- WesternAnimation.Fantasia
- WesternAnimation.Max Steel
Similar Issues
- Then there is pages like The Host which is for the Korean film but has a bunch of wicks referring to the adaptation of The Host.
- Ransom: YMMV.Ransom only has Film entries, but Characters.Ransom is trying to be a disambig to Characters.Ransom Film and Characters.Ransom TV... Trivia.Ransom needs to be split.
- Film.Deadlands is conflicting with the Tabletop Game. Maybe move to its redirect, Film.The Dead Lands?
- Series.The Untouchables: It's holding multiple versions in there...

The rule is that official takes precedent in all situations.
CM Sandboxes, MB Sandboxesalright 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?
moved VideoGame.Sonic Origins 2022 to VideoGame.Sonic Origins, so that swap is complete
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: - Oh. huh.

Disambig Needed: Help with those issues! tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=13324299140A37493800&page=24#comment-576You 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?

(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.
I had a dog-themed avatar before it was cool.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?

I had a dog-themed avatar before it was cool.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.

Disambig Needed: Help with those issues! tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=13324299140A37493800&page=24#comment-576Podcast.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 had a dog-themed avatar before it was cool.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.
Disambig Needed: Help with those issues! tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=13324299140A37493800&page=24#comment-576Or, at the very least, we can't prove its existence. Should we throw it into Darth?
I had a dog-themed avatar before it was cool.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?
- https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0795344/?ref_=ttfc_fc_tt - Who has Challen Cates and David Moscow
- https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1391727/, a.k.a tt1404721
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.
CM Sandboxes, MB SandboxesThe original is Theatre/, not Film/.
I had a dog-themed avatar before it was cool.The trope Space "X" is now wikiworded as one word due to the corporation of the same name.

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?
