and there should be repercussions for Darkknight2149's ing of so many sympathetic editors.  I've https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents&curid=5137507&diff=759057925&oldid=759000892 reported it.The Joker (comics) article focuses almost exclusively on the character's appearances in comics. Semantically, a ''character'' cannot be a subset of that characters ''appearances in medium X''.  A character's appearances are a subset of the character.When a character appears primarily in one medium, a "XXX (character)" article will inevitably be primarily about the character's appearances in that medium, per WP:WEIGHT.  Per WP:WEIGHT, Joker has appeared prominently in numerous media (film, TV, animation) and is best known to the general public through ''these appearances''—a film such as ''The Dark Knight (film)|The Dark Knight'' grossed ''more than double the entire comic book industry'' for 2008.Chances are ''extremely high'' that anyone doing a search for "Joker (character)" will be doing so after watching, say, ''Sucicide Squad (film)|Sucicide Squad''—most of these viewers have never read the comic books, which have been selling around {{val|100000}} copies per issue for ''years'' now.The solution is simple: the article that focuses on the appearances of the character in comics should be titled something like Joker in comics, while the base article about the character ''in general'' should be at Joker (character), so readers will find what they want without confusion.WP:COMICS has a long history of confusing characters with their comics appearances, and used to have this stuff baked into its MoS page, until the wider community overturned it Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Comics#RfC: Proposed rewording for instructions for disambiguation|here.  This request is another attempt to overturn community consensus, and is highly disruptive.  This has been an ongoing problem with WP:COMICS, and it needs to be put to an end
