I have noticed that as the Character Pages are expanding, I am seeing a few duplicate entries so to speak. That is, different incarnations of the same character from different series.

For example:

Joker (DCAU)

Joker (Batman Nolanverse)

Joker (Batman '66)

Joker (The Batman)

Joker (Batman Burtonverse)

God only knows how many more Joker profiles will have to be created. That's not even thinking about some of the other characters who have mere cameo appearances or ones like Batman's incarnations. I am already imagining the headache inducing problems those profiles will result in.

I am thinking we may eventually some better organization for this. For some dupe entries, it will probably be a bit easier. For example, there are two entires for Captain Kirk.

James T. Kirk (Star Trek TOS)

Captain James T. Kirk (Star Trek Alternate Reality)

We may have to create a third one for the animation version? Or simply put it under the TOS Kirk since they are essentially the same character, just animated? But perhaps we can have at the beginning of each page a shortcut link to the other page or pages? Like if you're looking at the William Shatner version at the top of the page is something like: "Not the character you're looking for?  You may be looking for Captain James T. Kirk (Star Trek Alternate Reality)."

For those characters with a ton of incarnations (like maybe 5 or more?), could we create a disambigation page or something? Something similiar like a link to a page which will only feature all of the varied incarnations of the characters themselves?

What do you guys think?
