You mean like every new page should be created as "Title (zine)", "Title (website)", "Title (convention)", "Title (filk song)", etc.? How is that supposed to make things easier? o_O We would have to create disambiguation pages for every new page that gets created because otherwise no one would find anything and we would have to rename 20,000 pages. Also, "Title (type)" is not specific enough, as there are often zines of the same title, websites of the same title, stories, of the same title, etc. That's one of the reasons why our disambiguation rules say that the fandom is included when disambiguation is made. So the correct title would be "Title (Fandom website)", "Title (Fandom vid)", etc. Sometimes that's not enough either and disambiguation needs to be something like "Title (Fandom story by author X)" or "Title (Fandom UK zine)". That's not something you can anticipate when you only have one page. Also you seem to assume that only story and podfic would need to be disambiguated and that no other page would have the same title. A page needs to be named "Title" so that when someone makes a new page that has exactly the same title knows that disambiguation is needed. If you name a page "Title (Fandom story)" and the next person makes a page "Title (Fandom zine)" and another one makes a page "Title (Fandom website)", there won't ever be a disambiguation page although one is needed. If someone makes a page for a podfic, they will probably look if there is already a page for the story and might not find it if they don't know the exact disambiguation to look for, and it's even less likely that they will look (or find) all the other pages with that title. Disambiguation and finding pages would be a mess.
