[edit] TV show, same name

There is also a Discovery Channel show with the same title:

It Takes A Thief (Discovery Channel)

Which means a page for the new series has to be made, and a disambugiation page to seperate this series and the Discovery Channel series needs to be made.

Something, I am afraid, is beyond my understanding of Wikipedia at the moment.

It's not too difficult to move this article to It Takes a Thief (1960s TV series) or whatever, but I'd rather wait until someone actually creates an article on the Discovery Channel series before going through the bother. 23skidoo 02:54, 13 September 2005 (UTC)

So how would I name the article on the Discovery Channel series? I have no qualms about making it, I like the show enough. Hmm... now that I think about it... in these days of recycled entertainment, there must be plenty of examples on Wikipedia with remakes of shows and movies under the same name (such as MacGuyver and Ocean's 11). I shall look some of these up and find a consistancy, then I will make the article for the Discovery Channel series.

One of the sysops, User:K1Bond007, has been working on coming up with a name format that addresses this very issue. For now, I suggest just going with the title It Takes a Thief (Discovery Channel) -- assuming the series was actually produced by Discovery Channel. If it was just aired by them but produced by different parties, perhaps It Takes a Thief (documentary). As I say, we can always move it to another namespace later. PS. Looks like someone has already created the article. 23skidoo 01:29, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
