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 type of subject or otherwise the title of its media source. 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.

For media titles, the discriminator should be the type of media, 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)'''. 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. | For media titles, the discriminator should be the type of media, such as (Game) or (Manga).
