Animation Wiki:Article titles

This page discusses about article titles on the Animation Wiki.

Rules
The article title for any topic related to television should be simply the most common word or phrase used to describe that topic. In particular, if the title of a television program is sufficiently unambiguous compared to any other topics or is considered to be the primary topic, then let that also be the title of the article.

TV series are disambiguated using  . If another TV series shares the same title as another, but released in the same year, they are disambiguated by year
 * Examples
 * We Bare Bears – No disambiguation needed.
 * The Powerpuff Girls (2016 TV series) – Disambiguated from the 1998 TV series of the same name, considered the primary topic.
 * Buttercup (Toy Story) – The character from The Powerpuff Girls is the primary topic so this is disambiguated.

Films are disambiguated using  . If another film shares the same title as another, but released in the same year, they are disambiguated by year.


 * Examples
 * Cinderella (1950 film) and Cinderella (2015 film) – No primary topic so both films are disambiguated


 * Characters and episodes are disambiguated by name of TV show, regardless if they are written in in-universe and out-of-universe perspectives, respectively. (example: Pearl (Steven Universe), Molly (Bubble Guppies), Molly (Bubble Guppies)). If the character's name is the same as the show's title or if the character appears in many different titles, use  . (example: SpongeBob SquarePants (character)) Where the title is the same as an episode, character, or other element from the show, disambiguate further using  . (examples: Charlie (We Bare Bears episode) and Charlie (We Bare Bears character)).

Episode lists should follow the ff: format: "[name of show] episode list" and not "List of [name of show] episodes". If two shows share the same title but released in the same year, use: "[name of show] (year released) episode list"
