[edit]
It appears that you are getting way too ahead of yourself with regards to the Disney franchises and Disney Consumer Products navboxes, to the point that you are using them more broadly than their intended purposes.
The Disney franchises navbox is meant to link to articles about the media franchises Disney and its subsidiaries own, including film series, book series, and video game series, but not television series as any one of those are treated as one creative work consisting of multiple episodes. (Articles on franchises based on TV shows, like The Simpsons franchise or the Kim Possible films, are OK, but not articles on their shows proper.) If we were to include nearly every single work that Disney owns, regardless if its franchise has its own Wikipedia article, then it leads to an overlink crisis. Additionally, I'm aware that several articles for individual films and TV shows have sections covering sequels, prequels and spin-offs, or even a navbox for their own franchises even though the franchise proper doesn't have its own article; that should not be basis for adding a franchise to those articles as they still primarily cover the original work that is the topic of those articles. So for example, even though the article for Big Momma's House has a section for its sequels and a navbox for its film series, it does not mean that it gets the Disney franchises navbox on its article, nor does it get to be listed and linked in the navbox itself. If the film series had its own Wikipedia article—which it doesn't as of this message—then the navbox would link to that such article, which would get the navbox added to that page. Same goes for Phineas and Ferb, which has several more spin-offs including TV films, video games, and even another TV show, but it too has no franchise article to call its own, so it doesn't get the navbox link or the navbox proper.
As for DCP's navbox, that one is older than the Disney franchises navbox and it handled links to Disney-owned franchises and brands differently from the newer navbox. That navbox would probably have to be sorted out someday since it does seem to be more broadly used to begin with, but the same issues with overlinking applies. We don't even know for sure if Disney Consumer Products handles all those franchises directly apart from their merchandise; I'm pretty sure they don't handle anything to do with, say, 28 Days Later.
So in short, please put in wikilinks to only multimedia franchises and (non-TV) series of works in the Disney franchises navbox, and the Disney franchises navbox to such articles. Don't do the same for articles on single TV shows, single films, or any other single creative work; only the franchises (and film series, video game series, and so on) based on those works count. –WPA (talk) 01:25, 16 February 2021 (UTC)
