Disambiguating Works / Subpage Collision Discussion

I mean, I think it's OK, but we should probably wait for consensus.

It looks like a custom display for VideoGame.The Game (which looks like ":the game:"), it has affected Literature.The Game, Music.The Game, Series.The Game (which is a disambiguation page), and Film.The Game.

I would say, move the media to years make a disambig page at Main.The Game (Inc the series disambig page) and then custom title VideoGame.The Game 2008 to show up as :the game: (2008)

^Correct, Series.The Game would then be folded into Main.The Game Oh it already is.

I've undone the custom title for now.

Completed! Subpages completed as well.

Re {{Series/Emergency!}} it is now appearing WITHOUT the exclamation point, but it is the only one supposed to have it!

Also, ''{{Film/Emergency!}} now *also* lacks the exclamation point, but I don't know if it needs it or not.

The unrelated works are all still showing up on the same page despite being different mediums. And the television series has its customized title gone now.

What's going on?! May I add dates to the titles to differentiate them?

Film.Emergency to Film.Emergency 2022, Series.Emergency to Series.Emergency Universal Television, VideoGame.Emergency to VideoGame.Emergency Deep Silver, and Music.Emergency to Music.Emergency The Tony Williams Lifetime.

Also, for Detention:

Detention needs to be moved to Film.Detention 2011, and split between that and Film.Detention 2010.

VideoGame.Detention needs to be moved to VideoGame.Detention 2017.

WesternAnimation.Detention can be moved to WesternAnimation.Detention Kids WB.

I'm suggesting disambiguations.

What do you mean? None of them (VideoGame.Emergency, Series.Emergency, Music.Emergency, Film.Emergency) are disambiguated. It'd be a good idea to. The exclamation point was removed probably because two of the works don't have them.

Also, ComicBook.Dead At 17 can be moved to ComicBook.Dead At Seventeen Image Comics.

I will take the liberty of disambiguating between it and Film.Dead At Seventeen 2008.

Partially because I don't like using disambigs that end in numbers when the title ends in a number if I can avoid it.

- Why are we spelling out 17 on both? At least the Comic has it in numerals, why not keep it?

Edit: ah. Right. I see the issue.

Lydia is the name of two things.

The "17" should be numerals, because otherwise it would immediately end up on that sandbox of mine.

The only form of disambiguation for musical bands is "(Band)" and variants like Rock / American / etc right?

Draft moves:

Film.The Cure to Film.The Cure 1917, because it mentions a 1995 movie.
Music.The Cure to Music.The Cure Band

It's certainly possible to use other forms of disambiguation, but bands aren't typically associated with a particular year.

That reminds me, the pages for House Party (1990) and Underworld (2003) are for film series, but they are disambiguated with the release date of their first films.

Would House Party Series and Underworld Series work better? Alternatively I guess House Party Film Series could work (compare X-Men Film Series). But Underworld could potentially get a Franchise page if pages were made for its spinoff works, so I probably wouldn't use "Film Series" for that one.

Homesick the disambiguation has a fanfic at its name, and year doesn't work if that Webcomic.Homesick 2021 exists, so "Home Sick (Punch Out!!)"?

What would we call the webcomic to make it more disambiguatory, "Homesick (Webcomic)"?

By author, presumably.

Hi, author of the fanfic in question here.

It's probably best to use author names, since both the fanfic and the webcomic are 2021 releases.

~Cutegirl920fire, since you're the creator of Sandbox.Homesick 2021, which hosts the webcomic info.

ComicBook.Shade was colliding with VideoGame.Shade, so I moved the page to ComicBook.The Shade DC Comics. Yet ComicBook.The Shade doesn't conflict with anything and is empty. Do I need the (DC Comics) Disambiguation in this case? Should I just move it to ComicBook.The Shade?

Yes.

There are other works called "The Shade," but none of them have pages.

Keep in mind that characters are not works; we need at least three tropes about the work.

That is being worked on. Slowly. And painfully. But until it’s dealt with short term in needed to be disambiguated first. There are still a lot of Comic Book characters that need to be looked at and moved.

Okay, so a comma at the end of a holler makes it bad too, even if it doesn't show up in the link. That previous post hollered "Cutegirl920fire,". With a comma.

What are you trying to ask me?

EDIT: I think I get it now. Just slap the author of that fanfic in that fanfic's article title. Also, when I do launch that webcomic article, I'll put in Webtoon in the page title IG.

Edited by Cutegirl920fire on May 17th 2022 at 8:17:41 AM

Should we disambig ComicBook.Dead At 17 due to the Film.Dead At 17 redlink being wicked from Similarly Named Works?

In any case, it's only got 2 edits of note: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/article_history.php?article=ComicBook.DeadAt17

I'd go Manual and just summarize the edit history in the page-making edit reason.

...

Sending that fanfic to Locked Edits... Err, no, I PM-ed the creator, waiting for them to get back... But it's been 3 days.

...

If no one disagrees with the Emergency disambigs said above, I'll post them on Locked Edits tomorrow.
