Talk:Sandman

I'm not too happy about the layout (this is my first new page here!). And should I keep the characters as subpages? I think they might clash with real pages else... what do other Sandman fans think? -- Lilith
Changed the layout a bit in my edit - hope it's OK with you. Subpages seems the best idea for the characters, yeah. Might be a case for moving this whole thing to a subpage of Neil Gaiman and having the fairy-tale Sandman as the main page with a link to the Gaiman subpage, but I don't know about that. AW
Is the Neil Gaiman series called "Sandman" or "The Sandman"? That would be a natural disambiguation with the mythical sandman. -- Tarquin 12:54 Sep 2, 2002 (PDT)
Good thinking - the Gaiman series is indeed called The Sandman. This does leave the problem of the discussion of the various Sandman comic book characters, however. This could be a complicated edit, i'll have a go at it tomorrow morning when i'm thinking straight. --AW
- Articles in titles can be tricky things, in that they frequently fall off: "The Sandman" => "other Sandman fans" etc. It's much cleaner to link without it where possible; "other [[Sandman]] fans" is much more natural than "other [[The Sandman|Sandman]] fans". --Brion
There. Notwithstanding Brion's point, hope this is seen as a decent way to manage this disambiguation. It's a fair point, but doesn't take away from the fact that the title really *is* The Sandman, not Sandman - accuracy is important, I feel. Now to try and fix this Worlds' End mess... --AW
