Requested move: The X-Files Season 10 → The X-Files Season 10 (comics) – The FOX Channel, creator of the The X-Files TV show, on its official website, refers to the recent The X-Files TV 6-episode pack as the "Season 10", a title that happens to be used also by the comics. And this can cause quite a confusion among the Wikipedia readers and editors. More details: The term "Season 10" is no longer solely and exclusively used to refer to the X-Files comics, since the Fox Channel now refers to the new X-Files' 6 TV episodes by that name. To reflect this reality, there is already a request in the Wiki page The X-Files (miniseries) to be renamed into "The X-Files (TV season 10)". However, confusion will be unavoidable unless the Comics' article in Wikipedia is given its own distinctive disambiguation/clarification... The move request's aim is to have the disambiguation term (comics) be added at the end of the comics article's page name The X-Files Season 10, so it is renamed into "The X-Files Season 10 (comics), which helps avoiding any confusion caused by the sharing of the word "Season 10" for both the comics and the TV, and it is done for everyone's convenience. -- SILENT RESIDENT 15:50, 28 January 2016 (UTC)

We're really only supposed to use disambiguating parentheticals to distinguish two articles that would otherwise have the same name, which is not the case here. We can address the concern you state with a header comment on this article, which we have, although I might adjust it to:

This article is about the comic book series. For the TV miniseries of 2016, see The X-Files (miniseries).

@NatGertler: "which is not the case here"... In fact, Nat Gertler, this is the case... As you see, there is a Move Request on the The Miniseries page, which gathered enough support for now, and is going to be renamed into "The X-Files (TV season 10)". Given this, it could be for the best if a clarification/disambiguation is added for the comics article as well, so any confusion in terms of article naming, is avoided. The TV article will be called "The X-Files (TV season 10)" and the comics article will be called "The X-Files Season 10 (comics)". This is the most recommended solution given that both the comics and the TV articles will soon be having the same names. We count on your support. Thanks. -- SILENT RESIDENT 15:36, 31 January 2016 (UTC)

• Reluctantly support. Better to use a parenthetical here than have the first nine "Season (number)" articles be TV and the tenth be the comics.  ONR  (talk)  16:29, 30 January 2016 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Old Naval Rooftops (talk • contribs)
• Strongly Support. This page should be renamed as suggested above, so to avoid any potential confusion or other problems in the future. -- SILENT RESIDENT 21:15, 31 January 2016 (UTC)
• Support: This was discussed on the other talk page.--Gen. Quon (Talk) 21:23, 31 January 2016 (UTC)
• Strongly Support. As someone who just had to fumble around trying to find the `season 10` I was looking for, comic book stuff should definitely be labeled as such! Glad to see action is being taken to sort out this mess so other people don't get lost in it. 71.35.176.6 (talk) 05:57, 1 February 2016 (UTC)
