I don't think it needs to be, as it's not that different from other incarnations AFAIK.

^ It's a reboot. Right now it has its own Characters and YMMV pages under Characters.DC Superhero Girls 2018 and YMMV.DC Superhero Girls 2018, but both need to be moved.

It's not indispensable per se as the first series is in the WebAnimation/ namespace, and as pointed out it's essentially the same franchise. Thus the disambiguation would only deal with subpages collision, which could otherwise be easily resolved by having two sections/folders on these subpages. (Subpage collision is much less bothersome between differing versions/reboots of a franchise than between two entirely unrelated works of the same name.)

Remember also that no work has preponderance over the title, so if disambiguated by year, both of them should be', resulting in DC Superhero Girls (2015) and DC Superhero Girls (2019) being the main articles.

The subpages for the 2019 show need to be renamed anyway, so why not rename the work pages as well? There's no clear Other Wiki-style primary topic here, so disambiguating both as 2015/2019 makes a lot of sense.

(Also, @StFan: is there any policy written down to say "no work has preponderance" in a general sense?)

^ So, rename the web and television namespaces with their years?

I'll move the 2019 pages soon, but I'm not so sure about the other pages. There's a Literature, Toy, and Web-Animation page, but they're all in one 'verse. It seems best to leave it as is.

I agree with StFan that moving it is unnecessary, and the Literature and Toy pages definitely don't need to be split.
