Over agressive disambiguation
By forcing (fitting), (player), (corporation), (guide) and other disambiguations to article names, you are breaking the simplicity rule of wiki media and its disambiguation rules. e.g. Salvaging, Salvaging (Guide) and Salvaging guide all refer to same thing, but yet they are scattered, thus disambiguation is pointless. If the article is about Ishkur, how to fit such wessel should be in the same article. Or are we fitting some other ship than ishkur in Ishkur (Fitting) article? Also capitalziation the names inside of ()'s also break naming conventions rules. Top of that, it renders the info from database useless as the FACTs are separated from WIKIs.
