::::::::My preference would be to use "(character)" where that is sufficient disambiguation, and "(game character)" when there are other characters from other media with that same name. I do like the idea of handling Red just like [[Misty]], where there are pages for her counterparts in other media, but the main page still serves as a hub for her appearances across all media (so it's not titled "Misty (game character)"). In cases where it isn't necessary at all (e.g. [[Hilda]]), just drop the dabtag entirely. | ::::::::My preference would be to use "(character)" where that is sufficient disambiguation, and "(game character)" when there are other characters from other media with that same name.

::::::::For Pokémon characters, they really need to specify the exact game they are from. For example, [[Necrozma (game)]] really should be titled {{redlink|Necrozma (Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon character)}} instead. But I think that's an entirely different matter to how we handle protagonists and rivals who currently use "(game)" in their titles. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 06:55, 27 February 2024 (UTC) | ::::::::For Pokémon characters, they really need to specify the exact game they are from.

:::::::::I like the suggestion of using "(character)" as a dabtag. If Red (game) is going to remain a hub for incarnations of Red across various media, it'd make sense to call that page Red (character). There are no other characters named Red in other media, so that's specific enough. However, there are multiple characters named Silver across media, so the Silver (game) page would need to be moved to Silver (game character). But that title could be a little confusing, since the page serves as a hub for his appearances across all media. Since he's the most significant character named Silver, I think it's OK to give him the main Silver (character) page and hatnote to the minor anime characters. Meanwhile, characters that don't appear across multiple media are disambiguated by the game they came from, like Sawyer (Masters), which is fine by me. So, I'm not entirely sure where "(game character)" would be used as a dabtag.
