Making disambigs for works that share names...

I've considered moving VideoGame.Spider Man to Spider-Man (2000), to disambiguate it from the PS4 game among others. Thoughts?

Film.The Thirty Nine Steps notes the other adaptations by that name in the final description sentence.

I'm moving it to Film.The Thirty Nine Steps 1978.

Although... The others use the numeral, 39 instead of the words...

I think VideoGame.Spider Man should be the hub/disambiguation for all the Spidey games, so that one being moved would be necessary (and I don't think it's even the first Spider-Man video game with the plain title, so even more reason to move it).

I think it is fine where it is due to the different spelling/marketing. If there's evidence that the numerals were used for posters/commercials, then I'd change my opinion.

There's three unrelated works titled Heartless, Fanfic.Heartless, Film.Heartless and Literature.Heartless.

Fanfic.Heartless Drich, Film.Heartless 2009, Literature.Heartless 2016?

There's a lot of things called "Glitch" and the Main is about the music genre. Any objections to moving Glitch to Glitch Music and turning that original into a disambig?

I wouldn't object to that.

There are currently three different media that have the name of "86". I think it'd be best to each move them into new, distinct namespaces. Eighty Six to 86 EIGHTY-SIX (its official name), 86 to 86 (2020), and 86 to Eighty-six (2012).

The light novel title change seems right. So I suppose LightNovel.Eighty Six would be moved to LightNovel.Eighty Six Eighty Six.

Note that using a custom title to display LightNovel.Eighty Six as "86 EIGHTY-SIX" would be misuse of the custom title system — see How to Make a Custom Title for details.

Should WesternAnimation.The Powerpuff Girls be moved to The Powerpuff Girls (1998)?

I think that'd have no issues.

There's four unrelated works title Split Second:

FanFic.Split Second, Film.Split Second, Series.Split Second and VideoGame.Split Second.

My idea for title moves for the pages would be.

Fanfic.Split Second -> Fanfic.Split Second My Little Pony

Film.Split Second -> Film.Split Second 1992

Series.Split Second -> Series.Split Second 1972

VideoGame.Split Second -> VideoGame.Split Second 2010

~bwburke94, I used the moderator page move tool to make it easier to use the history, and fixed some of the indexes, but I'll need you to do the rest of the wicks. The original page is currently redirecting to the franchise in case any wicks refer to the franchise as a whole, since there's more than one work that fits that namespace/title combination.

I've cleaned out the indexes and listed it on Wick Namespace Migration.

Sorry if this has been discussed before, but it looks like there are four Media pages grouped to some extent under the title "Stargirl":

• The Comic Book character, currently at ComicBook.Stargirl DC Comics (with ComicBook.Stargirl as a redirect)
• The TV Series based on that character, at Series.Stargirl 2020 (with Series.Stargirl as a redirect)
• The book by Jerry Spinelli, currently at Literature.Stargirl
• The Live-Action film based on the book, at Film.Stargirl

Do the book and film need to have something added to the namespace? Should a Main/ disambig be created? I'm rather fuzzy on the usual course of action in cases like these...

The others are disambiguated, so the book and film should be disambiguated as well. And because the TV series is by year, ordinarily the others would be as well... except that the film also came out in 2020.

So the book and film should probably be Stargirl Jerry Spinelli or something similar. Do we use full names or last names?

VideoGame.Spider Man moved to VideoGame.Spider Man 2000 and indices changed. Those more familiar with Spidey may want to take a look at the 164 remaining wicks.

ComicBook.The Invaders and Series.The Invaders were just moved to ComicBook.The Invaders Comic Book and Series.The Invaders TV Series, respectively.

~Mark Lungo, we try not to have disambiguations repeat the namespace. In this case the comic could be moved to ComicBook.The Invaders Marvel Comics and the TV series to Series.The Invaders 1967

Which is why I've made requests for both works to be custom displayed as ComicBook.The Invaders and Series.The Invaders, respectively.

That's not what custom titles are meant to be used for. See How to Make a Custom Title for rules on what custom titles are and aren't allowed.

So what should I do instead? And shouldn't we just wait until my custom titles are approved or declined?

How to Move a Page

Well, my custom titles have been approved. Is this matter resolved to everyone's satisfaction?

Well, no, because that is not a correct use of custom titles. The fact that they were approved is not really evidence to the contrary, because bad custom titles get approved all the time (apparently the mod-side interface is missing relevant information that would be used to make this decision).
