Talk:Word of Honor

Correct name

Wouldn't it be better to correct the page name to insert that this is a TV Series? Ellakbhesse (talk) 00:46, 23 August 2021 (UTC)

This TV show was based on a book. Should we add (TV series) if the post is for both the series and the book? There is also the fact that this is in translation. How are similar translated shows named like

Not sure if we should add (TV series) to the name since the other cdramas are not named this way. This post also includes mention of the cnovel it is based on as well. Also, I am not sure what distinguishes a tv series from a webseries considering most western fans probably viewed it through Youtube or Netflix. Alessnox (talk) 01:10, 23 August 2021 (UTC)

regardless of where she was seen in fandom, she was produced for television. it's tagged tv series in almost every medium i've read about. Ellakbhesse (talk) 02:40, 23 August 2021 (UTC)

A tv series is when it is first produced for tv. A webserie is when it is produced online. In this second theme we have streaming productions or own websites. Word of Honor is a TV series based on a book. We quote the book it's based on for contextualization, it's not a double page, as they both have a different name.

Alessnox I think it would be nice if some gardener checked the page. Perhaps the method of naming the page is best considered by those who so organize this vast library. Ellakbhesse (talk) 02:53, 23 August 2021 (UTC)

I'd say that at this point, since there is currently no other candidate for a page with the same name on Fanlore, the disambiguation is not strictly necessary. It can be done though, but the fact that it's about a TV series has already been made clear by including it in the live-action TV category.

I'd like to give an example:

The page for the Loki show is called Loki (TV series) because there are several versions of the character (+ a vidder) who all have their own entry, see: Loki. On the other hand, neither WandaVision nor The Falcon and the Winter Soldier need this addition to their page names so far, because there is no other media or fandom with the same name at the moment. This is also why Guardian (webseries) has the addition (see: Guardian) and, for example, The Untamed has not.

Of course this can change quickly and can be dealt with when the situation arrives.

So, right now, I'd vote for leaving the title as it is. Thank you very much for bringing the topic up! If you are interested in further information, here is Fanlore's help page on naming conventions. --SecurityBreach (talk) 05:32, 23 August 2021 (UTC)
