Spoilers are strongly policed here.
If this thread's title doesn't specify it's spoilery, don't bring any up.

Interesting case study we should probably talk about, so as to add the resulting consensus to tardis:disambiguation policy.

We have two stories alike in every major way: Wish You Were Here and (what is currently called) Wish You Were Here (The Adventure Games). Both are prose short stories. Both are Doctor Who stories. One is online, one is in a traditional print medium.

We can't leave things as is, because disambiguation rules say that if two exactly similar titles about exactly similar things are at hand, both must be disambiguated. So, because both are Doctor Who short stories, both must be disambiguated. So here are some possibilities: <poll> Disambiguation choices WYWH (author a short story) and WHWH (author b short story) WHWH (doctor 1 short story) and WYWH (doctor 2 short story) WYWH (print short story) and WYWH (online short story) WYWH (publisher a short story) and WHWH (publisher b short story) other </poll> Pick one and explain your logic below, please.
