Sorry if this is in the wrong section, but I only launched one work page before and didn't have to ask on the forums to launch it.

So I stumbled upon this page and I was thinking about launching it. The thing is what namespace should I use to launch the short film? Oh and some information about the short film would be appreciated.

You got some dirt on you. Here's some more!

Remember that Works Pages Are A Free Launch. That said, if works share a name and a genre (that is, ideally both that Up and Ebert's Up would go in Film), they need to be disambiguated by appending a descriptor, like the year of release, the author, etc.

So you could have Film.Up200X and Film.Up200Y with a disambiguation page at Film.Up.

The namespace was more the reason I came here since the films had the exact same name. Thank you! I'll create the pages. What about the wicks though?

Gotta be fixed, and that's your job. evil grin

Edit: Another thing to consider is which film people are most likely to be trying to find when they search. You might reserve Film.Up for the more widely known title, and just use a separate name for Ebert's, because the majority of people looking for Up will probably be looking for the one we already have.

Then all you need to do is add your page to the disambiguation at Main.Up and everyone's happy.

You might want to use Up(Roger Ebert) or Up(Ebert Short)rather than the year.

^I'm actually doing that, but now I'm having trouble creating the namespace. Forgive me, I don't have much experience in launching pages.

Edit: Thank you text formatting.

I'll point out you need to fill in the trope list, or your page will have a very short life before it gets cut-listed.

Hrrrm, looking at both IMDB and The Other Wiki (both are the movies refered to as winning the aforementioned oscar) neither pages mention Roger Ebert as a writer or any involvement on his part (though neither list any writers). We sure we are crediting the proper person here?

EDIT: I see the confusion. Ebert wrote a movie called UP! (punctuation needed) in 1976. It's a softcore porno comedy. And it most certainly did not win an oscar. I cutlisted the page, coz well, the title is not that of the movie, and the information in it is wrong.

Oh, wondered why I couldn't find any information about it. I'm okay with letting it die.
