Apparently, there's been a whopping four films named that. I can't tell from a quick scan whether they're related.

Just looking at the trope lists and the brief blurb about the older film on our page, they don't seem to share any character names, and the tropes described seem to portray the plot pretty differently.

All of which would seem to suggest that the two films already on that page should be split off into separate pages. I think the preferred practice would be to call them Film.Moulin Rouge 1952 and Film.Moulin Rouge 2001, and then turn Film.Moulin Rouge into a disambiguation (this would also allow for pages to be added on the 1928 or 1934 films - neither of which seem to be related to the 1952 film, but for all I know they're tangentially connected to the 2001 film).

It's the problem with the current wiki software that articles are identified by title. The big site overhaul will change it but until then we are stuck (save for mlsmithca's suggestion).

^ and ^^ That suggestion is exactly what I had in mind. Isn't that the standard for this kind of situation?
