These spelling variants are treated as one entrant when you filter by name. Aliases are scoped to the contest type, so the same name can resolve differently for a character, a game and a series.
A few titles use the same poll name for different releases, so they are split here and counted separately:
God of War →
God of War (2018) (polls 7954, 7998, 8020, 8031) · God of War (2005) (all other polls)Doom →
Doom (1993)DOOM →
DOOM (2016)The same name can be a character, a game and a series — each is a separate entrant, so filtering by one will not pull in the others:
Polls 2562–2566 are the Character Battle 2006 Battle Royale: a six-way poll, then five-, four-, three- and two-way as entrants were eliminated. Vote counts come from the poll-update history — the summary table stores only two of the names for these.
These ran alongside a contest but were not part of its scored bracket, so they are hidden by default. Use the show bonus link above the table to include them.
