If two articles share the same target name, at least one of them will need to be given a discriminator in | If two articles share the same target name, at least one of them will need to be given a discriminator in parentheses 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. | For media titles, the discriminator should be of the media type, such as (Game) or (Manga).
