Talk:Star Trek: Lower Decks

kingstoken and Therin of Andor, I'm so confused - I was in the process of creating this disambig page https://fanlore.org/wiki/Lower_Decks but now we have a disambig page on Star Trek: Lower Decks too? Can we just have one? Whichever one you like, I can make the other page redirect here, I just don't think we need two disambig pages. Joanna R (talk) 14:50, 26 September 2023 (UTC)

Would "Star Trek: Lower Decks" also redirect there? Because we have to have it link to something, because we are probably going to get people making links without realizing they need to disambiguate -- Kingstoken (talk) 15:26, 26 September 2023 (UTC)

I would say that "Lower Decks" would best serve as the primary disambiguation point here. It's likely but not a given that readers who search for "lower decks" are looking for the animated series. The article on the ST:VOY fanfic archive could be retitled either "Lower Decks (archive)" or "Star Trek Voyager: Lower Decks." Both of those seem like reasonable interpretations of the original site's name. Night Rain (talk) 09:09, 29 September 2023 (UTC)

OK great, I'm going to make this page "Star Trek: Lower Decks" redirect to "Lower Decks", I agree that it makes sense to be the primary disambig for the phrase/title. I'd renamed the VOY's archive page as Star Trek: Lower Decks (ST VOY) - it doesn't have the word archive in the renamed title, so I could add that (i.e. rename again) if you think that would be helpful.

For clarity this is the structure I would suggest:

• Lower Decks - Disambiguation page.
  • Star Trek: Lower Decks - The page for the animated TV series. I don't see a need for adding a disambiguation marker to the title. "Star Trek: Lower Decks" is the official name of the show. There doesn't seem to be any other work (canon or fannish) with the exact title "Star Trek: Lower Decks." The fanfic archive is simply "Lower Decks," or perhaps "Star Trek Voyager: Lower Decks", and in any case it's less notable than an official series. In other words, I'd suggest removing "(animated series)" from the page title. It will be shorter, clearer, and will help reduce broken and piped links.
  • Lower Decks (archive) - The Voyager fic archive. Night Rain (talk) 01:43, 2 October 2023 (UTC)

I don't mind renaming the pages again to match that structure, makes sense to me. kingstoken or Therin of Andor any differing feedback? Joanna R (talk) 02:29, 2 October 2023 (UTC)

It works, I think! Thanks! Therin of Andor (talk) 12:24, 7 October 2023 (UTC)

OK done, thanks for the thoughts! Night Rain Therin of Andor Joanna R (talk) 16:30, 16 October 2023 (UTC)
