not a committee post: Sherlockian character pages

We (some editors) have been discussing how to disambiguate the character pages for the many versions of Sherlock Holmes, Dr. Watson, etc. on a talk page. Fanlore's standard naming convention for disambiguated character pages will result in some very clunky page names for this fandom (e.g. [[Sherlock Holmes (Sherlock Holmes (2009))]]). If anyone has any ideas, input would be welcome! At the moment, it looks like we might go with disambiguating Holmes by actor name, though this approach might create other difficulties. We're also considering main "hub" pages to collect links/info on multiple versions of the characters: here's the first one, which I just now slapped together.

Speaking of character pages, at present there is only one character page in the Sherlock Holmes category (here). This is depressing, and I, for one, would love to see more! (I wonder if we could organize a fandom-specific editing party like the Merlin party back in ... March? That was an amazing thing.)

*late* I've put in my (long-winded (sorry)) opinion on the talk page.

A fandom-specific editing party would be great! \o/
