Talk:Bordertown (TV 1989)

Disambiguation

I added a note because the fandom I found when I hit this stub wasn't the fandom I was expecting to find; as it turns out, it looks as if the Windling/Scribblies/Black "Bordertown" is about as tiny a fandom as that for this TV series.

Unfortunately, what that means is that while we almost certainly do need to disambiguate between the two distinct franchises, the page created for that other Bordertown is likely to be about as much of a stub as this one, at least for a bit. (I can put together some details on that page if it's created, but I don't have the wiki-wisdom to set up the necessary disambiguation properly.) --djonn (talk) 07:01, 15 September 2020 (UTC)

I'd be happy to help set up the disambiguation, but I need some input on what to call each page. Bordertown (TV) and Bordertown (books)? --MPH (talk) 12:32, 15 September 2020 (UTC)

That would certainly work. One thought: if we wanted to be consistent with AO3 usage (and just in case someone else decides to re-use the title down the road, which isn't impossible - I think the books were optioned for TV at least once) we might go with "Bordertown (TV 1989)" for the TV series. --djonn (talk) 15:54, 15 September 2020 (UTC)

I'm good with that. Let's wait a bit for any objections, and then I'll go ahead. Ping me if I forget? --MPH (talk) 17:31, 15 September 2020 (UTC)

I'm also good with that. SecurityBreach (talk) 09:28, 26 September 2020 (UTC)

I moved the page, but stopped short at turning the redirect into a disambiguation page. I'm not sure how to link the book series on the disambiguation page - Bordertown (books) or The Bordertown Series? Or does this page already exist on Fanlore under a different name? --Auntags (talk) 22:30, 15 June 2021 (UTC)
