RM at Talk:List of Coronation Street characters (1960)#Requested move 15 August 2024.
I have initiated an RM at Talk:List of Coronation Street characters (1960)#Requested move 15 August 2024, to move 305 articles on characters introduced to TV shows by year away from their current parenthetical titles. Although the primary rationale for these moves is that the titles are deceptive because they do not indicate that the lists are restricted to characters introduced in those years, they are also of interest to this project because the titles currently use parentheticals for a non-disambiguating purpose.

Requested move of John Jefferson
There is a disputed requested move discussion at Talk:John Jefferson#Requested move 20 August 2024 that is probably trivially resolvable by someone more familiar with disambiguation-related policies. Daask (talk) 18:54, 20 August 2024 (UTC)

Partial matches and related titles
Lady Macbeth (disambiguation) has a "See also" section which just contains links to Lady Macbeth of the Mtsensk District (novel) and some of the works based on it. These include a 2016 film entitled "Lady Macbeth".
This is only a short disambiguation page (11 links, not counting {{wikt}} and {{disambiguation}} templates), and the "See also" section was created before the 2016 film was added to the page.
Should the 2016 film be in the main section of the page? And should the other links related to the novella be there? Thanks. Aoeuidhtns (talk) 16:25, 8 September 2024 (UTC)
- The film should be included in the main listing. The others, unless there are indications of being known as simply "Lady Macbeth" don't need to be repeated here. Only the link to the Lady Macbeth of the Mtsensk District disambiguation page is needed in see also. older ≠ wiser 17:03, 8 September 2024 (UTC)
- The guideline WP:PARTIAL covers partial title mathches. —Bagumba (talk) 18:02, 8 September 2024 (UTC)
Thanks both. That makes it a lot clearer. Aoeuidhtns (talk) 23:18, 8 September 2024 (UTC)
Child protection (disambiguation)
This seems to me to be a particularly bad example of something not being an actual disambiguation page, but I am at a loss for a solution. BD2412 T 22:06, 14 September 2024 (UTC)
- It's functioning as an index to articles relevant to the topic of child protection that in most cases someone using the search term "child protection" might be looking for (putting aside for now any quibbles about specific inclusions/exclusions). That's definitely a valuable page to have even if it doesn't strictly fit the arbitrary rules about what can be called a "disambiguation page". Unless anyone can explain what actual (not theoretical) harm it's doing then leaving it as is seems like the best solution. Thryduulf (talk) 00:31, 15 September 2024 (UTC)
- I agree that it is functioning as an index, and should therefore be at a title like Index of articles on governmental child protection efforts, or the like. These are not ambiguous topics sharing a name. BD2412 T 02:18, 15 September 2024 (UTC)
VOTD
Hello, I don't really even go here & I'm fairly new to Misplaced Pages so there's a lot to learn, but I came across this disambiguation page that is... kind of bizarre? It's not titled as a disambiguation thing which is one thing, but the page itself seems to be entirely pointless? It's assigning acronyms to television episodes that, as far as I can find, don't even go by those acronyms? I'm part of the Doctor Who community on here and I have actually never heard any of the three DW episodes mentioned be referred to as "VOTD" ever. According to the page statistics, there have been 874 viewers since it was created in 2010.
I just don't know what to tag or how to handle this sort of thing or where else to put it. I appreciate it, thanks! Garriefisher (talk) 02:33, 15 September 2024 (UTC)
