This page is about characters named Dr Fate. if there was a place called Dr Fate, New Hampshire, or some such, then we might need to disambiguate, but not when they are a shared topic on the same page where they are already disambiguated. - 1192:
The hatnote I added was also collapsed into a single hatnote, rather than a stack, as per policy. If you or any other editor feels inclined to coalesce those into a disambiguation page to further reduce clutter I would have no issue with that, but so long as another article has the same title as this

Are the events of the ending significantly different enough to include the variations in the plot summary? Have any of their unique events been referenced over others in later canon? Were the alternate endings availble separately outside of the collection you mention? If the answer to all of these is
738:
Okay, I get that. But my problem was that there are FOUR endings, and that the section as it now stands simply mentions one of them. I know in all four, Fate recovers, but otherwise the endings are different enough that it seems too simplistic just to say "here's what happened". Does that make sense?
808:
I am wondering if anyone knows if this name has ever appeared in association with Doctor Fate. Episode 1 of the now-airing Constantine TV series had the Fate Helm of Nabu or whatever you want to call it in the lair of Winters, but I do not see him listed as Fate. It made me wonder if Winters might
673:
I think its proper name is the "Helm of Nabu", but I've read here how some people call it the Helmet of Fate. Are they used interchangeably? Which is considered the primary term; we should use that. I've altered the heading in the article to reflect the "original" use for the helmet, but I welcome

All that aside, the goal here isn't to be difficult. Nor to blindly follow laid out guidelines. They are there for particular reasons. In this case, our overall goal is to be helpful to our readers, both to help in navigation, but also to reduce clutter to increase readability. And adding

In my tpb copy of the Gerber run on Dr. Fate, there are four different endings, written by four of Gerber's friends after his death. But when I added that to this page, it was reverted. Is there a reason why that info cannot be kept on the page?
1225:. This page is, by design, one that disambiguates. Just because we have a specific type of page called a "disambiguation page", which follows a particular format, does not mean that other types of pages do not disambiguate. See also 653:
instead? After all, the helmet replica is not an action figure, and changing to a collectibles sub-heading would allow for a cleaner way to denote any past or future Doctor Fate merchandise outside of television and film.

duplicative hatnotes at the top of this page when the sections below all already have them is, by definition, duplicative clutter. And we avoid clutter on Knowledge in several ways, for several reasons. One of which is
1082:
As there are multiple pages with the title "Doctor Fate," some of which include further disambiguation, they should each be included as a hatnote to this article or on a disambiguation page linked to this article as per
153: 1334: 1121:
There are other Knowledge pages with the title "Doctor Fate" and then parenthetical disambiguation. Either those pages should be renamed, or they should be linked here per policy.
1119:"When two articles share the same title, except that one is disambiguated and the other not, the undisambiguated article should include a hatnote with a link to the other article." 1180:
I think you may be misunderstanding the meaning of "disambiguate" on Knowledge. There is exactly one way of doing that. This page does not, so long as there is not a hatnote.
1374: 1349: 403: 265: 1143:). And by the way, the hatnotes that you are looking for are already in the article, at the top of each relevant section. Here are just a couple quotes from WP:SIMILAR: 1147:"...Mention other topics and articles only if there is a reasonable possibility of a reader arriving at the article either by mistake or with another topic in mind..." 147: 456: 1024: 1020: 1006: 910: 906: 892: 1369: 318: 1278:
So yes, this page is a list which (among other things) disambiguates, with specific sections referring to the main articles for each of the various characters.
