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.

[up][up][up][up] (Jericho)

The latter is a fan work, so the former takes precedence. (The fanfic should definitely be moved, and the series definitely shouldn't be moved at this time.)

[up]Agreed, the fanfic should be moved to something like Fanfic.Jericho My Little Pony.

Hello! I'm not certain if this goes here, but I recently stumbled across two works(?) sharing the title Deadman.

First is ComicBook.Deadman, which redirects to SelfDemonstrating.Deadman, a page describing the DC Comics character.

And then there's the Wild West Film.Deadman (which looks to be miscapitalized; should be Dead Man), the Awesome, Laconic, Trivia, and YMMV subpages all appear to refer to the film, which has no relation whatsoever to the Comics character.

There's two Fanfic.Eye Of The Storm now.

One at hyphenation. The other undisambig-ed...

Eye of the Storm is a common title, so I favour disambiguation by author.

One of the two is a crossover, which typically shouldn't use fandom disambiguation, but the non-crossover can be Fanfic.Eye Of The Storm Star Wars.

Common title, though. Searching on FFN and AO 3 for "eye of the storm" within the Star Wars category fits brings up like 16 other fics with that exact title.

Yeah, this is why I default to author's penname for disambiguating fanfic.

Trouble Cube continues to be a general-purpose forum for those who desire such a thing.

Bump...

But to talk about something else... Film.Ten is a redirect to Film.Ten 1979...

I was wondering why it was a disambig, and it took me a while to find Literature.Ten

Which is the only thing that uses that bare name. Thinking about making a Main.Ten so other people aren't gonna wonder about why things are disambig-ed...

The other things, with the undisambigs as redirects, are:

Should Literature be disambig-ed?

Definitely make the Main/ disambiguation page, and not seeing much reason why the Literature/ article should get (relatively) special treatment at staying where it is.

We have five different works named Downfall, and the pages are a mess. There’s Fanfic.Downfall, Film.Downfall, Manga.Downfall, Series.Downfall, and VideoGame.Downfall. There’s lots of subpage collision, and some subpages are individually disambiguated between works, such as YMMV.Downfall.

The first obvious move to make is to Fanfic.Downfall Bleach.

And Film.Downfall to Film.Downfall 2004, considering there are other films named Downfall (but none with pages).

Let's see… 2017 for the manga, 2010 for the series, 2009 for the video game. And the other Downfall films are 1923 and 1997.

Would it make sense to disambiguate everything (except the fanfic) by year?
