I was wondering if it would be more appropriate to have the sub-heading Action Figures read Collectibles instead? After all, the helmet replica is not an action figure, and changing to a collectibles sub-heading would allow for a cleaner way to denote any past or future Doctor Fate merchandise outside of television and film.

I think its proper name is the "Helm of Nabu", but I've read here how some people call it the Helmet of Fate. Are they used interchangeably? Which is considered the primary term; we should use that. I've altered the heading in the article to reflect the "original" use for the helmet, but I welcome any cited references that contradict that view - hopefully, with some discussion beforehand. - Jack Sebastian ( talk) 20:02, 20 October 2011 (UTC)
In my tpb copy of the Gerber run on Dr. Fate, there are four different endings, written by four of Gerber's friends after his death. But when I added that to this page, it was reverted. Is there a reason why that info cannot be kept on the page? Aristophanes68 (talk) 00:50, 2 July 2013 (UTC)
I think it's real important to note that this guy is from Earth 2 68.173.11.102 ( talk) 04:21, 30 September 2014 (UTC)
I am wondering if anyone knows if this name has ever appeared in association with Doctor Fate. Episode 1 of the now-airing Constantine TV series had the Fate Helm of Nabu or whatever you want to call it in the lair of Winters, but I do not see him listed as Fate. It made me wonder if Winters might have been a supporting character of sorts who might have held the helm in between its use by characters who took on the role. -- Ranze ( talk) 08:35, 25 November 2014 (UTC)

As there are multiple pages with the title "Doctor Fate," some of which include further disambiguation, they should each be included as a hatnote to this article or on a disambiguation page linked to this article as per WP:SIMILAR. AllegedlyHuman ( talk) 21:27, 25 May 2021 (UTC)
"When two articles share the same title, except that one is disambiguated and the other not, the undisambiguated article should include a hatnote with a link to the other article."There are other Wikipedia pages with the title "Doctor Fate" and then parenthetical disambiguation. Either those pages should be renamed, or they should be linked here per policy. AllegedlyHuman ( talk) 06:03, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
"Anyway, these pages are disambiguated, in several ways."I think you may be misunderstanding the meaning of "disambiguate" on Wikipedia. There is exactly one way of doing that. This page does not, so long as there is not a hatnote. WP:NCC in fact has relevant guidance on this; see Wikipedia:Naming conventions (comics)#By codename. Given that multiple articles have the same title, some of which use parenthetical disambiguation, there absolutely is
"a reasonable possibility of a reader arriving at the article either by mistake or with another topic in mind."The hatnote I added was also collapsed into a single hatnote, rather than a stack, as per policy. If you or any other editor feels inclined to coalesce those into a disambiguation page to further reduce clutter I would have no issue with that, but so long as another article has the same title as this one it needs to be linked at the top of the page. That is the intent of WP:SIMILAR, and I am not convinced that anything you have provided refutes that point. AllegedlyHuman ( talk) 22:24, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
In General Powers, for this sentence: "...they temporarily coalapse into one being with combined powers..."
Is that word supposed to be "coalesce" or "collapse"? -- Techielaw ( talk) 20:01, 1 June 2022 (UTC)
