I think what's supposed to happen, is if there's a podfic, Title, and later a fic entry, Title (Story), is made, than the original entry is supposed to have it's name changed to Title (podfic) and Title becomes the disambiguation page? I haven't seen it happen, personally, but the gardeners seem pretty on top of these things so I don't doubt that they'd get on it.

The only thing is if there's a slight change in how the naming is done, then none of the disambiguation will happen. Like, in the case of Pairing Pendragon/Merlin. The fic entry is under Pairing: Pendragon/Merlin and the podfic is under Pairing Pendragon/Merlin. Since the one has a : and the other one doesn't, neither is disambiguated and they're just left on their own like they're the only entries. And when I asked that a disambiguation be made I was told no. :-/ I was told they only disambiguate for the technical reason of 2 entries having identical names (which the URL standard can't handle).
