===Discriminators===
If two articles share the same target name, at least one of them will need to be given a discriminator in parenthesis so as to differentiate them. In cases where three or more pages all share the target name, a [[Guidelines:Manual of Style#Disambiguations|disambiguation]] page may be necessary to accommodate for them all. In most cases however, the most commonly sought subject will take priority in the mainspace while the secondary subject is given a discriminator. The discriminator should reflect the subject's topic (Demon, Character, etc.) or otherwise the title of its source media. For examples: [[Fairy (Demon)]] is given the discriminator of (Demon) to specify the page's subject and to distinguish it from the [[Fairy]] Race page. [[Joker (Ronde)]] has the discriminator of the subject's media source to indicate that it is a character specifically from ''Ronde'' and to differentiate from other characters also named Joker.

For media titles, the discriminator should be of the media type, such as (Game) or (Manga). If two media share a title and are of the same type, the discriminator should instead be the name of the media's publisher, such as in the case of '''[[Digital Devil Story: Megami Tensei (Telenet)|Digital Devil Story: Megami Tensei (Telenet)]]'''. If one of the media in question acts as a source for other material published under the same name, it should not require a discriminator, as is the case for '''''Persona 5'''''. Priority is given to video games over other types of media.
