The main reason is that, according to BBC branding, these books are parts of a two-part novel, not novels in and of themselves. When a release is part of a range or another release, it's strange that it would have the same dab term as its "parent", for the same reason that a (short story) is part of an (anthology) and an (audio story) in an (audio anthology) belongs to an (audio series). (novel) is really the only dab term that works on [[Interference (novel)]], so I think the (novel) term can't stay here. Thankfully, the page titles already have perfectly good built-in disambiguifiers: "- Book One" and "- Book Two". I know it's kind of an unorthodox suggestion, but this change would fit in with other recent page renames, like the removal of the (anthology) dab term from [[Iris Wildthyme and the Celestial Omnibus]], and these names have already been used as redirects for eons without a problem, so I hope it gets fair consideration. – [[User:NateBumber|N8]] [[User_talk:NateBumber|☎]] 16:58, July 1, 2019 (UTC) | In conjunction with the creation of [[Interference (novel)]], I'm proposing that [[Interference - Book One (novel)]] and [[Interference - Book Two (novel)]] be renamed to just [[Interference - Book One]] and [[Intererence - Book Two]].

Rename
In conjunction with the creation of Interference (novel), I'm proposing that Interference - Book One (novel) and Interference - Book Two (novel) be renamed to just Interference - Book One and Intererence - Book Two. The main reason is that, according to BBC branding, these books are parts of a two-part novel, not novels in and of themselves. When a release is part of a range or another release, it's strange that it would have the same dab term as its "parent", for the same reason that a (short story) is part of an (anthology) and an (audio story) in an (audio anthology) belongs to an (audio series). (novel) is really the only dab term that works on Interference (novel), so I think the (novel) term can't stay here. Thankfully, the page titles already have perfectly good built-in disambiguifiers: "- Book One" and "- Book Two". I know it's kind of an unorthodox suggestion, but this change would fit in with other recent page renames, like the removal of the (anthology) dab term from Iris Wildthyme and the Celestial Omnibus, and these names have already been used as redirects for eons without a problem, so I hope it gets fair consideration. – N8 ☎ 16:58, July 1, 2019 (UTC)
- Per Thread:215131 we have two definitions for prose, novel and short story. They are defined at the thread I cited. We don't worry about how they're marketed; for us it's just a measure of identification. And the novel dab term must stay with those stories since they would be the ones cited on in universe pages, in the same way that we don't cite Children of Earth or The Trial of a Time Lord but instead we cite the individual stories.bThanks Shambala108 ☎ 19:50, July 1, 2019 (UTC)
