Talk:Combatron (planet)

We don't have "Junkion (species)" and "Junkion (G1)", we have "Junkion (planet)."

Why is this planet being disambig'd with "Cybertron"? That kind of treatment makes sense for characters, but Planets routinely show up in multiple continuity families, and we don't normally break up their articles. -Derik 21:29, 5 June 2009 (EDT)

Interrobang, I'm aware that there are multiple articles using (Cybertron) as their parenthetical. However, are those articles regarding planets? --Rosicrucian^Talk 22:01, 5 June 2009 (EDT)

Well okay, I spot two of them now. However, those two are ones that have equivalency in other continuities. Of course as Derik states above, we likely ought to merge those into equivalent (planet) parentheticals to match the style of existing articles.--Rosicrucian^Talk 22:04, 5 June 2009 (EDT)

1. The only articles in this Wiki that use "(planet)" are Cybertron (planet), Junkion (planet), and Lithone (planet). Two of them are because there are more than one meaning for the words within the franchise.
2. Merging things that are obviously different concepts is a stupid idea. Cybertron (planet) can get away with it because it's just the same concept reused repeatedly. Jungle Planet (Energon) and Jungle Planet (Cybertron) are not the same thing.
3. Disambiguations are based on what franchise the thing appeared first in.

Disambiguations exist to disambiguate, not to convey useful information. That is what reading the article is for. I thought we went over this already? —Interrobang 22:23, 5 June 2009 (EDT)

And what's the most useful disambiguation? One that is the most different from other uses of the term. The other three uses of the term are all in references to groups of 'Cons, and this one's a planet. - SanityOrMadness 22:35, 5 June 2009 (EDT)

Gonna go with everyone saying the disambig should be "planet" (with the same being applied to "Master (Headmasters)"). - Chris McFeely 04:34, 6 June 2009 (EDT)

Combatron (planet) actually redirects to Combatron (Cybertron) at the moment, which doesn't make much sense in terms of consistency. -Mazenoise 04:38, 6 June 2009 (EDT)

Also, Hive (Headmasters) and Vehicon (RM) should probably be moved too. -Mazenoise 04:44, 6 June 2009 (EDT)
