::As [[User:CzechOut]] has explained to me many times, that's why renames and redirects exist. When looking for ''[[Dominion (audio story)|Dominion]]'', most people probably type "UNIT: Dominion" or "UNIT Dominion" into the search bar, and both times they're met with Dominion as the top suggestion; the same applies here. And it won't be much work at all, actually, since (again) redirects exist. What it ''would'' fix is the many scenarios where editors have put in extra work to pipe switch away the word "Short Trips" to present absurd redundancy, such as on ''[[Short Trips (series)|Short Trips]]'' where it's elided from the cover, or in the many places where that effort hasn't been put in and as a result "Short Trips" is repeated a useless amount of times, such as the "prev" and "next" variables in every infobox. I don't think it needs much explaining why "'''''A Christmas Treasury''''' was the eleventh ''Short Trips'' anthology" is preferable to "'''''Short Trips: A Christmas Treasury''''' was the eleventh ''Short Trips'' anthology". – [[User:NateBumber|n8]] ([[User talk:NateBumber|☎]]) 22:30, 8 May 2021 (UTC) | ::As [[User:CzechOut]] has explained to me many times, that's why renames and redirects exist.

::::…Wasn't there an ongoing thread about this? In any case, even if there wasn't, there probably should be. We would be talking about a change to a large number of fairly major pages.

Wouldn't this also apply the [[Virgin Decalogs]]? Shouldn't [[Decalog]] be [[Decalog (anthology)]] (which may allow us to move the page for the series itself to simply "Decalog"), [[Decalog 2: Lost Property]] be [[Lost Property (anthology)]], [[Decalog 3: Consequences]] be [[Consequences (Decalog anthology)]] (with the Torchwood anthology of the same name also renamed as appropriate), [[Decalog 4: Re:Generations]] be [[Re:Generations (anthology)]] and [[Decalog 5: Wonders]] be [[Wonders (anthology)]]?
