[[Forum:Works with the same name and Discontinuity indexes]] has reminded me of an issue that really needs to be dealt with. For the sake of not only {{tl|discontinuity}}, but every template that deals with page titles — as well as for the sanity of new users — we '''need''' to move to a standard nomenclature for all titles.

And given how many times I'm still finding things that need to be move from Story to [[Story (story type)]] names, I think we should just move every story page to a disambiguated name, leaving behind the redirect. | ||
This would have the effect of making the title of, say, [[An Unearthly Child]] be [[An Unearthly Child (TV story)]]. However, since the redirect would remain untouched, there wouldn't be much of a mess to clean up. Those of us used to typing [[Colony in Space]] can go right on doing so. New users, however, will immediately see the logic of the system. They'll get in the habit of typing [[Colony in Space (TV story)]]. As things stand, it is absolutely confusing to the entry-level editor why there's [[Kinda (TV story)]] at the same time that there's [[Snakedance]]. | This would have the effect of making the title of, say, [[An Unearthly Child]] be [[An Unearthly Child (TV story)]].
