Bump as it dropped to page 2 with no replies, only thumbs.
I know more about obscure 1990s Middle Grade Literature novels than most people.
I'm on team "turn into a shortened disambig page" myself.
If there's no objections, I'll start in on that soon then. Thanks.

I'm also in favor of disambiguating. (Not a mod statement; just my thoughts.) I'm surprised it wasn't already when VideoGame.Story Of Seasons and VideoGame.Harvest Moon Natsume were split.

I've cleaned up the page as a explaining disambig, and tried to move anything that had indexed the HM page to point to either the Story of Seasons page or the Harvest Moon (Natsume) page, with notes that SoS used to be Harvest Moon on any index page it's mentioned. There may need to be some other media page changes, but as long as the disabmig is there and explains the split, I think that should cover a good portion of the situation.

ππ½Please leave an edit reason for large edits next time. It had been initially reported as a unilateral edit
, alongside the other edits.
I thought discussing it here was enough. I did not realize a link needed to be made when I made the large edit, but I got consensus, and a null edit linking here has been made now.
ETA: I did make a note when I made the large edit as seen here but did not link to the ATT in the notes.
Along with my expansion of the data on various Harvest Moon (now Story of Seasons) games, I went and cleaned up the base Story of Seasons page because it was very wordy, had some dated references, and hadn't discussed much on the way the franchise had changed in years. That's when I saw that the base Harvest Moon page says—well, said—the exact same things that the Story of Seasons page says about the split and the game mechanics and plotline, including listing out all the games in the series. However, it's been ten years or so since the name split, and the page seems redundant as it's done right now and could be useful as a page to detail the split and link to the Harvest Moon games by Natsume which are a series in their own right.
Is the base page something that we ought to keep as is, or would it be more practical to turn into a shortened semi-disambiguate page that explains the split in the title and links to both the Marvelous page (now under Story of Seasons) and the Harvest Moon (Natsume) games?
ETA: Notably, the Harvest Moon page links to 633 articles and is often used as a shorthand for older games and the series as a whole before the 2014 name split, which is why I think it ought to remain with some details but stuff that's redundant to the Story of Seasons page be reduced.
