Con Disambig Standards?

Is there, or should we even have, con disambig standards? If so, what makes the most sense? Currently I've been using location, like with VidCon (California) (to distinguish between it and Southern Media Con, which used to be called VidCon, as well as the soon-to-be-made VidCon (London)). But I've also seen ConVERGE (science fiction and fantasy con) vs CONverge (slash con) and The British Star Trek Convention (1974 & 1975 cons) vs The British Star Trek Convention (series of cons). So I understand the need for flexibility, but I still think we should maybe at least have like, helpful examples listed. --Punkpixieprince (talk) 21:01, 17 March 2019 (UTC)

Relationship Disambigs?

There's no guidance on what to add to the title to disambiguate a relationship. As an example of why this might be needed, I've just created Chili (Genshin Impact relationship) as a redirect to the Childe/Zhongli page to help with searching. I can't find any other shipname overlaps on Fanlore atm but I think that's a matter of the limited coverage of Fanlore - I've definitely encountered relationship name ambiguity across various fandoms. --Endofthyme (talk) 21:48, 14 February 2024 (UTC)

I think usually when there was potential for ambiguity, a different page title was chosen and the ambiguous title was made a disambiguation page. Example: Nessie vs. Niall/Bressie. In a few cases, the fandom name was added as the parenthetical: America/Russia (Hetalia), Kirk/McCoy (TOS), Jyler (Twenty One Pilots). In one case, the ship name was also the name of the show and got disambiguated thusly: KinnPorsche (ship).--aethel (talk) 21:39, 7 September 2024 (UTC)
