I say leave it where it is to distinguish.

But that's not its name...

^ But it's far more clear.

VideoGame.Transformers should probably be a page listing all the video games related to Transformers that we have pages for.

Yeah, the video game is just called Transformers. The Prelude to Energon was only used in early promotional material and not the final product. It's disingenuous to list it as its actual title.

If we want to distinguish it from other Transformer games, maybe we can move it under Transformers (2004) or Transformers PS2? That way it won't clog up the main franchise page.

^ Making VideoGame.Transformers a disambig page and moving the game page to VideoGame.Transformers 2004 or VideoGame.Transformers PS 2 seems like the best option.

I lean towards 2004, but there is already Transformers: The Game (DS) if we want to be consistent.

^ Don't disambiguate by system unless there's no other option. No other Transformers work would be called Transformers (2004), so VideoGame.Transformers 2004 is valid.

Okay, so VideoGame.Transformers is now a disambig page for all the TF games that we currently have pages for.

I'll move Transformers: Prelude to Energon over to VideoGame.Transformers 2004 later, but for now, I've made the latter a redirect.

VideoGame.Transformers Prelude To Energon and its subpages have been moved to VideoGame.Transformers 2004.

Should we keep VideoGame.Transformers Prelude To Energon as a redirect, or can it safely be cut? I lean towards cutting it, but I'm not opposed to keeping it.

I'd probably decline a cut request, due to the inbound count and that it was a valid title at some point (as opposed to "Untitled [X] Project").

Alright, I'll leave it be.

Just a heads-up, I thought I missed a wick on WMG.Super Robot Wars X Omega, but actually somebody had reverted it almost immediately, and I switched the wick back without realizing that.

I don't know if this still counts as an edit war since it looks like they were adding a lot of info in their edit, so they were probably just working on an old copy of the page somewhere and didn't see that the wick had changed.
