(series)?
Is the "(series)" disambiguation really needed? What is this being disambiguated from? As far as I can tell, individual characters don't fall under the wiki's coverage according to policy, so there wouldn't be anything else (more notable than this) named "Kirby" (there's the unfinished GameCube game, but it would probably work better to only disambiguate the game from this, e.g. "Kirby (game)").--Vellidragon 02:29, 10 January 2012 (UTC)
- The "series" isn't meant to distinguish from any specific "Kirby"-related media/pages/etc. It is currently the standard of all of the series pages on the wiki, as to distinguish The Legend of Zelda series from The Legend of Zelda game. The parenthesis/brackets aren't important in and of themselves; just if we change them for kirby, then we need to do so for series pages, along with many series templates.

- I don't currently see why it would need to be changed for other series as well. It would be logical to only use it where it is needed and not use it where it's not needed, but meh.
