Talk:Tarn (G1)

So, given the new revelations of Tarn's identity, what do we do with the two pages? Do we merge Glitch into this one, this one into Glitch, or leave the two seperate? Stealthyboy (talk) 04:02, 28 July 2016 (EDT)

We should wait for the spoiler period to expire before doing any merging to avoid doing anything spoilery. --abates (talk) 04:21, 28 July 2016 (EDT)

Right, yes of course, but after that period is over, what would be the best way of dealing with the issue? Stealthyboy (talk) 04:57, 28 July 2016 (EDT)

It seems to me the merged article needs to live here, just as the other DJD members don't need moved to their real names. - Chris McFeely (talk) 06:39, 28 July 2016 (EDT)

I'm the opposite, if only because I HATE the "(polity)" disambigs for the cities. That, and it helps disambiguate the two Voses better. Saix (talk) 11:25, 28 July 2016 (EDT)

Eh. Aside from Vos, the DJD members have longer, more well-documented histories under their codenames, and we were introduced to all of them like that. And personally, Vos' article looks fine; it gets a short sentence or two for his first identity, then delves deeper into the one that has a longer history (and it seems to work fine in the Ultra Magnus article). Magaroja (talk) 14:17, 29 July 2016 (EDT)

So is the consensus to leave the DJD where they are now? (Not merging now, just creating redirects.) Saix (talk) 13:57, 1 August 2016 (EDT)

That's probably best, they're the names people will know and get called the most.Charles RB (talk) 19:23, 1 August 2016 (GMT)

Why are these mergers happening BEFORE the expiration of spoilers for the relevant issues? First Dominus Ambus and now Tarn... is it that much of a hassle to wait a piddly 30 days before getting the job done? Magaroja (talk) 08:12, 26 August 2016 (EDT)

You're complaining about this after the next issue has already been released, so... what? Saix (talk) 13:48, 26 August 2016 (EDT)

Move to (G1)

Considering how Tarn is showing up in other franchises, it seems simpler to just park the DJD guys at (G1)? Pan-franchise articles for cities, planets, etc. shouldn't really have an influence on this. Saix (talk) 10:36, 7 December 2022 (EST)

Agreed. As Tarn is crossing over continuity families this will be more convenient, specially if the DJD itself also gets used in new continuity families. MrRald (talk) 09:51, 14 December 2022 (EST)

Seconded, and I've half a mind to suggest a similar swap for Kaon, Vos etc who would still have the (DJD) identifier. LenaPrime (talk) 09:54, 14 December 2022 (EST)

I thought we had codified something in the disambiguation guidelines about non-characters not blocking characters from franchise disambiguations, but I don't see it there. I know we've done similar things in the past, I moved Paddles (character) to Paddles (G1) a few years ago for basically the same reasoning as here. Perhaps we should come up with some specific phrasing for the disambiguation guidelines. --Khajidha (talk) 14:06, 14 December 2022 (EST)
