Line 2:
For some reason, the original author(s) of these pages crammed multiple works into them. Not like a [[:Category:Franchise|franchise page]], but actually multiple versions of the same work: [[Remake]]s or [[Continuity Reboot|Reboots]], or simply the book and the movie(s) made from it.
 
This can get messy, especially when the tropes for the works are all mixed together into a single list. It's even worse if there's [[Adaptation Decay|a substantial divergence]] between the different versions.
 
Wiki readers are better served if these works are broken out into their own pages, with different media types (withand years, if necessary) distinguishing them. And it may be a good idea to add a [[Help:Disambiguation|disambiguation page]] under the most common (or best-known) title pointing at all of them. Don't forget to check and split out the subpages, too! (See the [[Starship Troopers]] page for a set of good examples.)
