Editing Guidelines Please remember these guidelines when editing a film article: If a non-film article already exists with the name of the film that you are trying to create an article for, disambiguate and use (film) in the title: Film Title (film) For more information see: Wikipedia:Naming conventions (films) When writing an article about a particular film, the general format should be a concise lead section, followed by a plot overview, production details, a cast list, a reception section, and references. Create an Infobox that tells all pertinent information about the film. We are always looking for new members! Join us today!

Disambiguation links are used when a person putting a word in the search box may been sent to a page they weren't looking for. The policy states that you do not disambiguate, or add a link to a disambiguation page, if there is no risk of confusion, as is the case here because the page name is "Chocolat (movie)", not "Chocolat". A disambiguation link is therefore an inappropriate way to link to the article "Chocolat" from here. Joe D (t) 22:36, 28 May 2005 (UTC)

That's great if you can guarantee that nobody ever ends up at the wrong place (possibly because someone linked the movie article when the novel article would have been more appropriate). I don't think you can make that guarantee, so I guess I don't understand why the presence of the dab line bothers you so much.

I don't see why anybody would link to the movie when they meant the book, considering the book is named "Chocolat" and the movie is named "Chocolat (movie)" - it would be pretty obvious to them that they were linking to the movie. If somebody does link to the wrong page that's a case for fixing the link, not cluttering this page with excess disambiguation links. The reason the disambiguation line bothers me is that the two disambiguation lines clutter this page but don't serve any disambiguation purpose. Joe D (t) 11:18, 29 May 2005 (UTC)

I completely disagree that each and every wikipedia visitor/user understands the disambiguation process. If they put in Chocolat into google and found this page, but were really looking for the book......chances are they would not find it. You have done this on many pages and I disagree with each and every instance of it. Cburnett 18:36, May 31, 2005 (UTC)

So because "not every Wikipedia uses understands the disambiguation process" it would be easy to link to Chocolat (movie) thinking it was a book? Joe D (t) 18:56, 31 May 2005 (UTC)

What? If google points me to Chocolat (movie) and I, an unknowing WP visitor, don't know the book is at Chocolat then I'd have to rely on someone having linked Chocolat in Chocolat (movie). Not so convincing for a movie based on a book, but more so for Replicator (Star Trek) since there is no link to Replicator without the dab header. Cburnett 19:14, May 31, 2005 (UTC)

Did you read Wikipedia_talk:Disambiguation#Proposal:_When_to_disambiguate_section? This has been proposed before and rejected. Joe D (t) 19:20, 31 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Overview

The overview in this article more closely resembles a review than a synopsis. It needs a little editing to be NPOV. Thanks. Rockhopper10r 19:36, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)
