::I think the best way to handle this would be to make the page name -- going back to the title I am using as an example -- "Where's the Doctor" but referring to it in its first reference in the introduction as '''Doctor Who: Where's the Doctor?'''. As the White Knight teaches us, there is a vast difference between something's name and what it is called.

::::I agree with the general consensus here, but I think we should be generous in allowing for disambiguation. That is, I think the rule shouldn't just be "drop the ''Doctor Who'' unless it's absolutely necessary for disambiguation", but "drop the ''Doctor Who'' unless it '''might''' distinguish the article from another topic." The difference would apply in cases like [[Doctor Who | ::::I agree with the general consensus here, but I think we should be generous in allowing for disambiguation.

The difference would apply in cases like [[Doctor Who - Series 1 and 2 (soundtrack)|Doctor Who - Series 1 and 2]]. Under the former rule, we would have Original Television Soundtrack, which would be distinct from any other title, but wouldn't really distinguish between either the existing [[Doctor Who - Original Soundtrack Recording]] or an article on the [http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001CYZ9AE Torchwood Original Television Soundtrack], if somebody made one. Similarly, we should keep [[Doctor Who: The Sixties]] at that full title, to avoid potential confusion with [[1960s]]. | ||
::::I also agree with Bob that we should distinguish between the article title (in which ease of auto-suggest can be a factor) and the title given in bold at the top of the article (which should reflect the work's full title, as given on the copyright page or indicia, etc.).

::I'll prepare a final list of the changes to be made so that we can review before pushing the "go" button. A list has to be prepared in any case for the swift bot move. The only question I'd have at this point is whether we want to retain the redirects or not? That is, do we keep [[Doctor Who: The Early Years]] upon moving to [[The Early Years]] I'm guessing yes, but I'm biased in that it's much less work to leave the current links as is. Still, if anyone strongly feels that the all the links should be changed over to the "Doctor Who:"-less versions, I'll have the bot do its thing. {{user:CzechOut/Sig}}{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}} 22:30: Sat 01 Dec 2012</span> | ::I'll prepare a final list of the changes to be made so that we can review before pushing the "go" button.
