::::::::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)

:::::::::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.

::::::::::Yeah, if we are going for hub pages, we can't really easily use "(game character)". For Silver, I think "Silver (rival)" would work just fine for the title of the hub page. (Unfortunately, neither "(Johto)" or "(human)" work on their own, so would need to be combined as the very awkward "(Johto human character)" if we wanted to try an alternative.) --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 01:56, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
