It's because obviously Manga.Girlfriends, Film.Girlfriends and Series.Girlfriends share name, and subpages aren't connected to a specific page.

The only fix is to rename each page, which is probably warranted.

Because several things share the same title. If someone wanted to make a character sheet for the manga, they'd have to rename it to make a different subpage.

EDIT: Ninja'd.

As it's not been directly mentioned yet - there's a disambiguation thread on the forums for untangling cases like that (and avoiding them when creating new pages).

Might be worth posting there to see what the options are. We usually add some sort of disambiguation suffix in brackets to the work name - e.g. the year or possibly a creator/publisher's name - but the exact solution will depend on the nature of the clash (e.g. if the manga and the series were the same year, we'll need to find a different option).
