::::The [[Bulbapedia:Manual of style#Disambiguation]] section currently says something that seems to be wrong. It claims that all games and game characters should have (game), much like all Pokémon species have (Pokémon). So basically it seems that all Gym Leaders, Elite Four, Champions, other NPCs, etc. would have (game) as per this policy, like "Sabrina (game)", "Lance (game)", "Lana (game)", etc. Not to mention all game titles would have (game) too, like "Pokémon Scarlet and Violet (game)". I know that we don't really do this kind of thing, so maybe we should talk about changing this part of the manual of style. | ::::The [[Bulbapedia:Manual of style#Disambiguation]] section currently says something that seems to be wrong.

::::Fortunately, the manual of style also says this at the top, which gives us a bit more freedom to follow actual usage rather than the exact rules: "Note, however, that this document is not updated frequently; survey prevailing conventions as well as reading these guidelines." --[[User:Daniel Carrero|Daniel Carrero]] ([[User talk:Daniel Carrero|talk]]) 13:53, 18 February 2024 (UTC) | ::::Fortunately, the manual of style also says this at the top, which gives us a bit more freedom to follow actual usage rather than the exact rules: "Note, however, that this document is not updated frequently; survey prevailing conventions as well as reading these guidelines." --[[User:Daniel Carrero|Daniel Carrero]] ([[User talk:Daniel Carrero|talk]]) 13:53, 18 February 2024 (UTC) | ||
:::::The manual of style's disambiguation section starts off with ''"When two subjects would have the same article title, ..."'' so I don't think it's saying ''all'' game articles need to be dabtagged. (Reading the second paragraph, it seems that only Pokémon and moves currently explicitly ''require'' a dabtag per the manual of style.) I don't think there's any conflict with the proposed moves of, say, Calem or Elio. [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 16:00, 18 February 2024 (UTC) | |||
