Talk:Dark Knight

message: The reason I moved this page to read "The Dark Knight (disambiguation)" and pointed people typing in "The Dark Knight" to The Dark Knight (film) is because if somebody types that in, they're going to expect to find the movie page, not this disambiguation page, and then I put a link on the movie page to the disambiguation page. Why did you change it back? Even if it's left as "Dark knight (disambiguation)", that's okay, but as I said, if you type "The Dark Knight" into the box and click "Go", it should direct you to the film page, not to the disambiguation page. Comments? Suggestions? Please provide a rationale, or I'm changing it back. Thanks. cocoapropo (talk) 18:37, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed.  "The Dark Knight" most likely specifically refers to the film.  That page should say "For other uses, see Dark Knight (disambiguation)".  The redirect from "The Dark Knight" to "Dark Knight (disambiguation)" is nonsensical. -- Renesis (talk) 03:58, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

text: Zero reason? How about this isn't a Batman-o-pedia?  This encyclopedia is about real life topics.  So we consider what is the most common result for a search term. It's certainly better going to the film than redirecting to Dark Knight (disambiguation). -- Renesis (talk) 15:08, 5 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: So if this isn't Batman-o-pedia, then wouldn't the disambiguation page be perfectly acceptable in providing the range of topics having "Dark Knight" in them? :)  Besides, WP:NCF says, "But where it is the same as a subject in science, a novel, or whatever, unless the film title is the primary topic for that name, title the film article like this: Film Title (film)."  Obviously the film title "The Dark Knight" is not the primary topic, so it is going to be disambiguated anyway. —Erik (talk • contrib) - 17:13, 5 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm fine with that as the title of the article itself, for me the question is the target of the title "The Dark Knight" (with The included).  I think it should be redirected to the film instead of the disambiguation page, which is appropriate at dark knight.  When The is included, it's much more clear that it is a proper noun, referencing the film, and will become even more-so as the film inevitably becomes a fixture of film discussion in the future, given the records it has set/broken. (This is similar to the Rock Band/Rock band controversy, which was decided to point to two different articles, given the capitalization distinction) -- Renesis (talk) 16:02, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree. "The Dark Knight" should automatically go to the film page. The movie is the only item in that list that is the exact title of "The Dark Knight". The only other exact match is The Dark Knight being the nickname of Batman, but this movie's significance surpasses that given its box office and pop culture impact. A link to the disambiguation page can be included at the top of the article. Phoenixmuffin (talk) 13:59, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

text: Silly me thought that when more people said to do one thing that more people had to disagree before something was changed. The Dark Knight is a proper noun that refers to the film. "the dark knight" "The dark knight" "The Dark knight", "dark Knight", "dark knight", "Dark knight", and "The dark Knight" probably all go to this page. It's ONE variation of the numerous ways it could be typed. There's plenty of re-directs for this disambiguation page, and until popular opinion on this discussion page changes the re-direct should not be changed.Phoenixmuffin (talk) 16:47, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

text: And yet someone keeps changing it. Rest assured I will keep changing it back until it is decided upon otherwise in here.Phoenixmuffin (talk) 16:25, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: Why is there an additional discussion on this apart from this page, then? I feel it's unfair to be told I'm disrupting Wikipedia just because I was unaware of a superfluous discussion page on the issue.Phoenixmuffin (talk) 20:39, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
