*In this case, I like the idea of using the authors to disambig them. While it remains a minor possibility that different authors will use the same title for different works in the same medium, it's a reasonably safe bet that one author won't ever write two separate works in the same medium with identical titles.

*I agree with Skittles the hog. Currently in use we have stories disambigged as such ''[[Shada (TV story)]]'', ''[[Shada (webcast)]]'', ''[[Shada (audio)]]''.

A quick trawl through the disambig category reveals plenty of others ''[[Cold War (comic story)]]'', ''[[Cold War (short story)]]''. It's not much more of a step to include (online short story) or (web short story) or something like that to disambig these two cited examples. --[[User:Tangerineduel|Tangerineduel]] / '''[[User talk:Tangerineduel|talk]]''' 16:15, March 15, 2011 (UTC) | ||
*Well, see, I agree with [[user:Rob T Firefly|Rob T Firefly]]. I think [[user:Skittles the hog|Skittles]] is misusing the word "format" here. They're both short stories; the method of delivering that short story doesn't change what it fundamentally is. I'd dispute that people are more likely to know the format of this story than the author; I personally didn't know ''either'' existed until yesterday, so it doesn't feel unnatural to me to think of one as the "[[James Moran|Moran]] story". It also would be nice to have a disambiguation rule that worked for multiple cases. Fine, in this instance there's an easy distinction between method of publication. But what happens if one day there's a ''Doctor Who Storybook'' short story that uses the same title as a story from a Decalog anthology? If we go with a "disambig by author" ruling in this instance, we've got something that will cover ''that'' instance, as well. {{user:CzechOut/Sig}} <span style="{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}}">'''18:55:58 Wed '''16 Mar 2011 </span> 18:55, March 16, 2011 (UTC) | *Well, see, I agree with [[user:Rob T Firefly|Rob T Firefly]].

*Nope, I'm correctly using the word format. Surely people are more likely to know whether they read a story online or on paper.----[[User:Skittles the hog|Skittles the hog]]--<small>[[User talk:Skittles the hog|Talk]]</small> 19:43, March 17, 2011 (UTC) | *Nope, I'm correctly using the word format.
