*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.

::I still agree with Skittles. For CzechOut's scenario the policy would just read: ''In the unlikely event that two (or more) short stories of the same name exist place the prefix the short story belongs to in the disambig brackets.'' So ''Story name (DWA short story)'' ''Story name (VD short story)''. --[[User:Tangerineduel|Tangerineduel]] / '''[[User talk:Tangerineduel|talk]]''' 14:39, March 18, 2011 (UTC) |
