Making disambigs for works that share names...

Page Topper info: Previous question: Film.AgainstAllOdds to what? Literature.AgainstAllOdds to what?

Well, if no one has a counterargument, I'll go with Year for both then, 1984 and 2008 respectively. Gotta request the Literature move anyway, since it's 30+ edits, if no one does it first.

Edit: VideoGame.ResidentEvil points to VideoGame.ResidentEvil1 but Franchise.ResidentEvil exists too.

Film.Mercy 2009 has wicks, but Series.Mercy also started in 2009?

What would we move them to?

Also, thoughts on Resident Evil from my last post?

Undertow Trilogy, Undertow 2007 and UNDERTOW (Jem) have been disambiguated.

Where to move this book and the Video Game, for disambig?

• A 2007 book called Undertow, by Creator.Elizabeth Bear

Because things exist

Undertow:

''Undertow'' may refer to:

* [[Film/Undertow2004 A film]].
* [[Literature/UndertowTrilogy A trilogy of novels]].
* [[Literature/UndertowElizabethBear A book by Elizabeth Bear]].
* [[VideoGame/LostSoulsMUD A video game.

If a direct wick has led you here, please correct the link so that it points to the corresponding article.

Film.Juice doesn't currently clash with anything, but unrelated British TV sitcom Juice launches next month.

Film.Juice 1992 and Series.Juice 2023?

- Probably should be fine. There's another Film, according to Wikipedia, at least. And some television, but that's less big.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juice_(disambiguation)#Other_uses_in_arts,_entertainment,_and_media

I don't see the point, unless you're planning to make a page for the show.

I am planning to make a page for the show.

And I'd like to list it on Future Works now, but before adding a redlink there it seemed worth getting a view on naming.

If that's the case, then going with the year sounds good to me too.

Since there's a 2007 Undertow Video Game and Literature... Any reason not:

VideoGame.Undertow2007 -> VideoGame.UndertowChairEntertainment
YMMV.Undertow2007 -> YMMV.UndertowChairEntertainment

Literature.Undertow2007 -> Literature.UndertowElizabethBear

Fair enough.

There are four works with the name Stray: a novel, a video game, a fanfic, and a comic book mini-series.

I figured I'd disambiguate the novel and video game by year of release. The comic book was later compiled into a trade paperback with the subtitle "Who Killed the Doberman?", so I could disambig the page by adding that subtitle or I could do it by year too.

The fanfic is trickier because it has since been deleted. Any ideas?

- Being a single word, and fanfic usually are suffixed by author or source work. I'd go Author since it's shorter: Stray Dahne

I forgot about using author/creator names. I'll get started on that, then.

Film.The Wizard Of Oz needs disambiging, since Film.The Wizard Of Oz 1925 exists.

Series.The Chosen TV Series has a bad disambig style

Debuted Christmas 2017, and a quick look at The Other Wiki can't find any direct clash on that year.

Series.The Chosen 2017?

Doing an exact title search on IMDB, there's also a short by that name that it says came out in 2017, but the official uploads say 2018. Looking into it more, it was originally uploaded in 2017 [1] [2] [3] but the original upload was taken down/privated for some reason. The publisher, Crypt TV, has a work page, WebVideo.Crypt TV, so the short can be troped there. If someone wanted to split off a page for it, I suppose they could disambiguate it as WebVideo.The Chosen Crypt TV.

tl;dr yeah that should work.

ETA: wait a second, checking https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Chosen_(TV_series) , it says the pilot came out in 2017, but season 1 came out in 2019.

Well, since the pilot got a public release (unlike a lot of TV pilots), I guess it's fine to use it as the start date.

So, Marvel has just launched a new Spider-Man Unlimited webcomic...

We already have VideoGame.Spider Man Unlimited (2014) and WesternAnimation.Spider Man Unlimited (1999).

There's also a 1993 comic series, a 1999 comic series and a 2004 comic series using the title, none of which have pages yet.

Years would work for everything except the 1999 animated series and comic. I'm not sure how best to disambiguate those two, especially as the comic was a tie-in based on game continuity?

Three works titled "Supernova": Fanfic.Supernova, Film.Supernova, and VisualNovel.Super Nova. The YMMV page is split between the VN and the film, while the Trivia page is just for the film. Wrestling.Super Nova is already a redirect. How should the new pages be titled?

Fanfic.Supernova Pokemon, Film.Supernova 2000, VisualNovel.Super Nova 2022?

The visual novel is titled Super-Nova with a hyphen, so the custom title will need to account for that.

We have WesternAnimation.I Am Groot (2022), but a new webcomic has launched today and there's also a 2017 print comic.

I'm just about to launch pages for the other two.

So...

• ComicBook.I Am Groot 2017
• WesternAnimation.I Am Groot 2022
• Webcomic.I Am Groot 2023

?

If that seems reasonable, I'll put a move request in for the animation page.

That looks good.

Unhinged now has the Literature redirect to Splintered Series, and two films, Unhinged (1982) and Unhinged (2020).

Not sure if there's good targets to justify a Main disambig over just making a Film one, but there should be something to tell people not to make pages in that namespace. Target Madness Tropes, perhaps?

• The Film.Westworld and the Series.Westworld, share many subpages, Trivia, YMMV, etc.

(Posted about these works and others in another, "Splitting merged works", thread and received advice to post here while I figure out how to do it — split in disambigs and move entries around.)
