:::::::::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) | ::::::::::Yeah, if we are going for hub pages, we can't really easily use "(game character)".

(resetting indent) Which one of these is the best option for a link template? | |||
* <nowiki>{{char|Red}}</nowiki> → Red (character) | |||
* <nowiki>{{ch|Red}}</nowiki> → Red (character) | |||
We also have two existing pages with (character) other than redirects: [[Copycat (character)]] and [[Detective Pikachu (character)]]. | |||
I find it interesting that we also have a few (character) redirects: Wally (character), Snap (character), Crystal (character), and Pokémon Ranger (character). --[[User:Daniel Carrero|Daniel Carrero]] ([[User talk:Daniel Carrero|talk]]) 02:21, 28 February 2024 (UTC) | |||
:I suppose we will want to keep the status quo in pages like [[Misty]], where a page mainly about the game character is also used as a hub for several other versions. Technically, we also have the alternate option of splitting the game character from the hub, in which case we would have separately the articles "Misty" (as a hub for all character versions) and "Misty (game character)" strictly for her game appearances with no manga or anime counterparts. --[[User:Daniel Carrero|Daniel Carrero]] ([[User talk:Daniel Carrero|talk]]) 02:34, 28 February 2024 (UTC) | |||
