Dragonball (2009) film

I really don't think adding a link to the Dragonball (film) article, when the Dragonball article redirects to the disambiguation page, should be considered controversial in the least. The movie is named "Dragonball". I'd understand if it had some sort of subtitle, like the other films, but the simple fact is that typing the name of the movie takes you to a disambiguation page that doesn't include the movie directly, and requires a minimum of three more clicks to reach.

I also highly object to arbitrarily issuing any sort of vandalism warnings simply for editing the page without first discussing it on the talk page. I have a registered account, and I meet the requirements to edit the page as outlined in the semi-protected template on the page.WtW-Suzaku (talk) 23:38, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

Please calm down. That warning was to let you know that discussion is preferred over any instance. Now regarding the film, why only Dragonball (film) and not the others? Just because of a redirect? Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 23:43, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
Dragonball is the name of the film. The others have subtitles, for example, Dragon Ball Z: Super Android 13!. If one wants to view the Dragon Ball Z: Super Android 13! article, they will be taken directly to it, with no redirects or disambiguations involved. However, if someone wishes to go to the article for the film called Dragonball, they have to navigate additional links to get to the film, which is exceptionally ironic, as none of the other official Dragon Ball media is even actually spelled that way.
In fact, considering that, it might be better to move Dragonball (film) to Dragonball and include a "Dragon Ball" redirects here. For other uses, see Dragon Ball (disambiguation). in the article.
Also, I'm perfectly calm, and I'd like to (politely and calmly) let you know that you should exercise more caution before telling someone to "calm down", as it can actually upset or provoke someone who isn't upset, despite perceptions (which can easily be mistaken when interpreting only text).
