We need a bit of a think on page naming. Do we use [[Michelle (IV)]] or [[Mickey (GTA IV)]]. If we use it for other games, do we switch to [[Michelle (SA)]] (which is a city) or [[Michelle (GTA SA)]] or [[Michelle (GTA San Andreas)]]? And what if that character is in more than one game, and still needs to be disambiguated?

:I am of the opinion that we should use as detailed desciptions as possible, while maintaining brevity. Therefore, I would opt for [[Michelle (GTA IV)]], [[Michelle (GTA SA)]], [[Michelle (GTA LCS)]], etc...I think it's fine to use shortened versions of game names in titles, which can be expanded upon in the article...the only question is, do we use colons, i.e. (GTA:SA), or just leave it as a space?<br>Hopefully I'm not misunderstanding your point, but when a character shows up in more than one game, I think it's fine to leave their nomenclature centered around the game in which they play the biggest role. There should be references to their appearances in other games within the article, but I don't think including every appearance on a disambiguation page is the way to go. We can use in-article text and categories to show that a particular character has appeared in more than one game, and should defer to their most prominent appearance as default. Thoughts?
