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...

Probably Film.Ace In The Hole 1951.

If Literature.Victoria is disambiguated/moved to separate it from Series.Victoria, shouldn't it be going to Literature.Victoria A Novel Of4th Generation War?
Grand Poobah of Crimestrikers
Well, I put it under Literature.Victoria 2014, but maybe we should try to get a consensus. Or maybe I should just get started...

Okay, I'd like to thank whoever already moved the reviews from Literature.Victoria to Literature.Victoria 2014. And now, I'd like to deeply apologize for what I'm about to ask: could you please move them again, to Literature.Victoria A Novel Of4th Generation War? I'm sorry, but I was reminded that the novel had a subtitle, so that would be a better place to move the wicks.
"But... nobody told me I needed a signature!"
~Mark Lungo - I'm planning on using the page-mover on Literature.Victoria and subpages once a consensus is established, so you don't need to bother with the copy-and-paste method of moving right now.
Grand Poobah of Crimestrikers
Too late. Whoops!
"But... nobody told me I needed a signature!"

Also, I was under the impression from the Victoria clean up thread here that we were going to move forward with moving the page to Victoria: A Novel of 4th Generation War after we finish cleaning Sandbox.Victoria.

Macron's notes
For now, I just put everything back the way it was before, including cutting the new pages.

So was I. What now?

Clear up the plan for the pages at the cleanup thread, I would think.
ETA: Made a post looking to clear things up.

Burning Love is a Web Video, but I know this Yandere Simulator side-story thing exists. What suffix do I use to differentiate it, since it's a separate work so it needs a separate page?
I guess "(Yandere Simulator)" would be fine?

Are you planning to create a page for the other work? If not, I don't see a reason to disambiguate.

- Yeah I'm planning to make a page for the Visual Novel.
Okay. Maybe by year?

VideoGame.Game Of Thrones Telltale exists, so VideoGame.Game Of Thrones should be disambiguated, right? VideoGame.Game Of Thrones Cyanide, or VideoGame.Game Of Thrones 2012?
Edited by Twiddler on Feb 26th 2023 at 12:30:55 PM

VideoGame.Game Of Thrones Cyanide I guess, and move the other one to its natural disambiguation VideoGame.Game Of Thrones A Telltale Games Series.
...On that note, because the TV series isn't the original work, it also needs to be disambiguated. Ugh.
I had a dog-themed avatar before it was cool.
If Game of Thrones (Telltale) were to be moved to Game Of Thrones A Telltale Game Series, it wouldn't match The Walking Dead (Telltale) anymore.
If Game of Thrones (Telltale) were to be moved to Game Of Thrones A Telltale Game Series, VideoGame.Game Of Thrones technically wouldn't need to be disambiguated, since the former would be using a full title instead of a title+disambiguation. (Therefore Series.Game Of Thrones wouldn't need to be disambiguated either.)
If VideoGame.Game Of Thrones and VideoGame.Game Of Thrones Telltale were both disambiguated, I don't think Series.Game Of Thrones would need to be; since the former two are in the same medium, if they use the same title, they'd have to be disambiguated against each other regardless of the existence of any pages with the title in other mediums.
VideoGame.Stray, ComicBook.Stray, Literature.Stray, and Fanfic.Stray all share the same name, but are unrelated works. Checking wick counts, the video game has 124, literature 97, fanfic 37, and the comic book 12.

TabletopGame.CYBORG Tabletop RPG - Bad disambig style, having medium as the disambig suffix. Replacement ideas? Goodnight.

CY_BORG (2022). Year is the usual method of disambiguation, and there are already multiple "Cyborg" work pages disambiguated the same way.

Fanfic.Fractures is conflicting with Fanfic.Fractures ATLA
Going for Space Dimentio as the suffix for the former, but for the latter, should we be using an initialism for a disambig?

It's already there and it shortens the title, so the page should stay where it is.

Was checking out Mars, which auto-disambigs into Manga.Mars 1996, Series.Mars 2004 and the Useful Notes.
But I found that Comic Book has wicks, which seem to be this comic.
So should we make a disambig at Main.Mars to handle a redirect from Comic Book, so people don't make a Comic Book page that has to be moved later?

Thanks. Moved! Now where to put Film.Ace In The Hole?
