Disambig[]
Timmy is a pretty common name, so shouldn't this be a disambig? --ToonNicker3 20:01, January 15, 2012 (UTC)
- But what other character would it lead to? --If your undies are tight, it's uncomfortable. If you're a boy and your bra is tight, I'm uncomfortable 20:23, January 15, 2012 (UTC)
- Timmy McNulty from Rugrats is the first one that comes to my head. There are also probably minor characters from Live-action shows for Nicktoons, or even actors. That's why I'm hesitant to link characters with common names when I make actor articles... --ToonNicker3 21:51, January 15, 2012 (UTC)
The thing is no one is going to think of Timmy McNulty as regular Timmy. I'd only make a disambiguation if it was for two characters with the same name. --If your undies are tight, it's uncomfortable. If you're a boy and your bra is tight, I'm uncomfortable 21:54, January 15, 2012 (UTC)
- They share the name Timmy. That's why I'm bringing it up. Just like we have to do with Tommy Pickles and TWO Tommy Turners. There is in all likelihood a Tommy without a last name that makes it hard to make this a redirect. Please stop being stubborn--ToonNicker3 22:17, January 15, 2012 (UTC)
- I'm not really being stubborn. Just bring it up with someone else and if they agree I'll reconsider. --If your undies are tight, it's uncomfortable. If you're a boy and your bra is tight, I'm uncomfortable 01:20, January 16, 2012 (UTC)
- I think it is necassery. I'll stick with it. Besides, wikis don't have discussions for this kind of stuff. Conker's Bad Fur Day 01:22, January 16, 2012 (UTC)
We can fix this with a redirect or "you may" template. What we do is have "Timmy" redirect to the page that people are most likely to be looking for. In this case, more people are going to be thinking of Timmy Turner because that show is still on the air. Then on Timmy Turner's page, we use one of those templates to have a message like the following:
- "Timmy" redirects here. For other people named Timmy, see (the disambiguation page).
or, with the "You may"
- This article is about the character with fairy godparents. You may be looking for Timmy from Rugrats.
I'll check this after I get back home. —RRabbit42 (leave a message) 15:15, January 18, 2012 (UTC)
- And it's done. Timmy redirects to Timmy Turner and there's a notice on that page that alerts people to this and Timmy McNulty. —RRabbit42 (leave a message) 14:58, January 23, 2012 (UTC)
