• Mad recurring features → Recurring features in Mad (magazine) — Clearer name, with "Mad" qualified to match parent article Mad (magazine). —Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • ^{(Many otters • One bat • One hammer)} 17:03, 5 January 2010 (UTC)
• "Mad recurring features" may mean "recurring features which are insane or illogical". Anthony Appleyard (talk) 17:34, 5 January 2010 (UTC)
• Proposal sounds reasonable to me.—Chowbok ☠ 18:12, 5 January 2010 (UTC)
• Comment. (1) When the parenthetical qualifier can be omitted, it should be. It does not matter if the name could mean something different—for example, it does not matter if some think Nice is not an article about kindness before they read it. So in any event, the name should be Recurring features in Mad before it is Recurring features in Mad (magazine). (2) On a somewhat contradictory note, the preferred syntax for this kind of title has been Recurring Mad features (this nicely sidesteps issues over whether the preposition should be in, of, or from). See for the widespread use of this syntax Category:Lists of television characters. But if everyone thinks this is to convoluted, one can, of course, ignore all rules. Bear in mind, however, the featured List of Lost episodes still bears a name with obvious double meaning. (3) This appears to be a list. If so, it should be named List of recurring Mad features. — the Man in Question (in question) 16:15, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
• I agree with The Man in Question that it should be either List of Mad recurring features or List of recurring features in Mad. (Both have precedent, by the way.^[1]) The "(magazine)" disambiguator is not needed since there's no confusion with another article. Jafeluv (talk) 13:25, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
