31: 2278:, et al.). Within the Star Trek guidelines indicated above, there are also clear conventions for naming of the discrete series, movies, and other items (largely harking of the common naming convention). While few other genres have the breadth of material in the Star Trek franchise, reflected in the ongoing creation/maintenance of articles for individual episodes/items, I'm sure a similar phenomenon may occur with other genres in time ... if not already. 488:, but it's entirely ass-backwards as to how policy decisions have been usually made in the past. There's a customary procedure for settling wide-ranging policy disputes: go on notice boards, discussion pages, the Village Pump, etc., and say "there's a lot of confusion about how XXX should be handled in the Knowledge, I'm starting a discussion ]" and then make a proposal, let it get hacked to death, let consensus emerge, vote if necessary, etc. 1205:. Excuse my obscenity, but holy shit, when did this happen? I've been following the prior policy of keeping the disambiguation page at the main topic page, and I think this approach is just fine. Its only disadvantage is that some disambiguation pages have the suffix and some don't, but so what? That's no reason to make a major structural change with 1138:
much easier to just tell them at "Thing", is this what you're after. I don't see a need to make generics consistent with primaries when generics make up 80% of dab pages anyway. The more common method is not only simpler but keeps pages at their rightful original titles, thereby avoiding confusion.

I just want to be clear, does (TV xxxx) mean that only (TV or television) is being used and when needed (xxxx) is used or would (TV xxxx) be the standard? Also in my opinion a movie is just that, a movie. If you look through some of the older comments (TV movie) is a U.S. phenomenon and breaks with

If one of the options is chosen, then the prefix (TV or television) can be chosen. Insert other options if you feel there is an option missing. Proposed options for the poll 1346:

I am glad you agree, I have been having a difficult time finding the information from the asterik versions. Do you think the order should always be People, Places, Things (PPT)? I have been creating pages in PPT format, and only recently noticed most pages are in an older format. Should there be a

Look, I think the problem here is that some folks (I'm referring to many editors, on this page and elsewhere) are trying to effect change in the Knowledge by first making changes in the policy pages, and then pointing to those policy changes as the rationale for widespread and unpopular changes in

Furthermore, it would make sense to have something at each article "Thing". To have a disambiguation page at "Thing" makes it abundantly clear that we don't know what you're after. To force a redirect to "Thing (disambiguation)" means there's nothing at "Thing", which is confusing ā€” it would be

I cannot find anywhere that says anybody should "fix" redirects by eliminating them. The only links that need fixing are those that point to disambiguation pages (and I doubt a bot can figure out the context). Redirects are incredibly helpful in determining when to split pages, and which links

should just be one list ā€” remember that using section headers, whether using headings or extra lead lines, lengthens the page, and so should only be used when necessary (about twenty ( or maybe fifteen) entries for leading lines, and thirty entries for headings is a good indicator). In fact,

I'd also like to point out that in both the 3 January 2006 version and the current (9 January) version, it says "If you must link to a disambiguation page (instead of a specific meaning), link to a redirect to the disambiguation page that includes the text "(disambiguation)", e.g. America

the reverse method. Now you call it the dark side. Well, I'm agnostic, but it's better to go with the 95% for consistency. It would be insanely difficult to move all the existing pages. Apparently there's not actually a technical reason after all. I've changed my position here.
1597:. "Series" does nothing to disambiguate Friends from anything else it is not necessary and shouldn't be included. "Series" would only be necessary if there was a television game show called Friends, i.e. Friends (television game show). It is confusing to have shows named 1752:. There is no confusion that Uranus is a type of mythology, or that school is a type of discipline. Using "television" is an appropriate way to disambiguate without adding unneeded complexity of differentiating things produced on television that are not series. -- 2235:
The proposed naming convention for television episodes is excellent and I'm sure helps to people get to the information that they are looking for rather than an episode for which they are not familiar. This suggestion may be applicable for other shows like the

BTW, I checked the first page of 189, admittedly not as good a sample, and there were 19 "(disambiguation)" of which only 9 actually had primary topics. So that makes 180/189 (95%) as Generic, with 5.9% needed to be moved from "()" form. Not too hard to
1283:
Aside from that, a reason to link to a generic topic dab page is very, very, very rare ā€” there are many thousand disambiguation pages on Knowledge and I'd be surprised if so much as five hundred had a purposeful deliberate (non-LtDP) link to it.

Are there actual processes that need to have an unambiguous link? If there aren't, then I'd be happy to change my default defense of the existing text. There should be enough knowledge and experience around here by now to know whether it really

Nevertheless, I think my sample would have been representative of the general trend that can be found. I would suspect the majority of those 179 pages are primary topic dabs, but even if that's not so, we're still looking at a minimum 82.1% at

Thanks; I understand. I suggest it only as a guide ā€“ maybe even a precedent ā€“ for the possible treatment and disambiguation of ep articles for series within other genres that share similar roots/names or have many incarnations (e.g.,

I agree with Neo that there's no reason to have a policy on this; it should be decided on a case-by-case basis. In fact, the order of entries in general for dab pages is deliberately not mandated in this guideline.

The idea of "Table" redirecting to "Table (disambiguation)", as far as this page and its discussion was concerned, began on 17 May 2005, with an addition that was not discussed on this page. It first appeared in

With regard to the link sorting thing, I think an exception can be made for this; it is readily apparent that the link is intentional (given, after all, its purpose) and I'm sure dab-link fixers will be aware of

Also does adding "series" make it an unnecessary disambiguation, shouldn't "TV" or television be sufficient unless there are two similarly name shows or shows that have coverage in two separate countries like

Because it doesn't look like I have been able to get a consensus on the naming convention, perhaps I can get a consensus on a poll (if there are no objections). There have been previous polls

I agree that the comparison is not 100% but the principle is there, don't add disambiguation unless necessary. I guess what I don't understand is the need for the word "series". Compare

Thanks for replying, but what constitutes a series? A sitcom, a drama, a miniseries, a cartoon? Are they all series? What about game shows or news programs. I'm not clear which is which.

Also, having the disambiguation page without "()" would make it easy to distinguish in the category whether it's a Generic topic visually. Only the Primary topics would have the label.

That doesn't say anyone should "fix" redirects, but I've certainly observed many editors go on such cleaning missions, and there are tools to help them. For instance, 1545:

Sectioning is one of those things where you really have to look at each page and decide each case individually. Hence, I don't think a template's such a good idea.
