Oh hey look, we have the new show at both Series.The Odd Couple and Series.The Odd Couple 2015. Neither is a redirect to the other.

The second one is unindexed, as well as smaller and less polished, so I think that's probably the erroneously created one.

Looks like bombadil211 needs a little bop on the head.

Edit: Wait, he's also working on the other page?! Looks like he created both. I think maybe Series.The Odd Couple 2015 was a sandbox version? Or he changed his mind about the title. At any rate, he could use a talking-to for not cutlisting it...

And yet it's the one with the proper name.

So...is there something that's going to be done about this?

The 1982 and 1970 shows should get separate pages as separate series, recycled scripts or not. They are separate works that share material.

bombadil211 should be messaged to place the content on the 2015 and cutlist the other page.

So would anyone mind if I started by doing a transplant of Series.The Odd Couple to Series.The Odd Couple 2015?

And if not, is there a disambig template that I could copy and paste into Series.The Odd Couple telling people to go to 2015 and to fix wicks as needed? (Going forward that is; if/when I do the transplant I'd fix the current wicks from Series.The Odd Couple to Series.The Odd Couple 2015.)

EDIT: I've started a Sandbox.The Odd Couple 1970 page to trim off the tropes from the catchall Theatre page unrelated to that series. As far as I've gotten, actually most of the tropes listed on Theatre/... are from the series - unsurprisingly.
