I support having subpages for "Character in Alternate Universes" and "Character in Other Media" (so that the film, TV, and Video Game versions are all found on the same page). But I mean, obviously you wouldn't need those subpages if there were only four or so entries for either category.

But I mainly want to reiterate what Peteparker said a while ago. I feel as though the disambig page should be treated almost as a "Character for Dummies" page. It would have all of the basic info, and a brief-ish history on the main version, as well as acting as a disambiguation page.

I've supported the idea of having a summary or overview of a character's history available as well as the full-on character history on the character pages. So far, it's been implemented in a couple of different ways, such as an overview at the beginning of the page, and a separate page for the extended version of the history section. But the most popular method seems to be having a summary of the history on the disambig page, so I'd like to make a push that we include that in the plans for a new Disambiguation Template.
