Split DnM and DnM+ version of item to Item:Disk System (Doubutsu no Mori+)

We need to address this. This item's name as the NES is factually wrong when it's outputted on Doubutsu no Mori and Doubutsu no Mori+-related pages like Furniture/Doubutsu no Mori+, because the model of this item is not the NES, it's the Famicom Disk System. Note that while Doubutsu no Mori e+ does share the same name of the item, yet is modeled after the NES, it's more of Nintendo's fault for improperly localizing the item for Japan. Therefore, I propose to move the Doubutsu no Mori, Doubutsu no Mori+, and Dòngwù Sēnlín version of the NES item to Item:Disk System (Doubutsu no Mori+), and leave this page for the Animal Crossing and Doubutsu no Mori e+ version of the item.

In case anyone isn't aware with the situation with the NES/Famicom, there's a video by Akfamilyhome that explains more in detail as to the differences between the NES, the Famicom, and the Famicom Disk System here, but to summarize neither systems share the same components and hardware, they're shaped differently and neither can share ones controller, and each have their own exclusive games. -- PanchamBro (talkcontributions) 14:27, November 22, 2022 (EST)

I Support Support this. Even if the items serve the same function, they are conceptually different, and it's not right to conflate the two anyway. After all, we don't cover the paintings that were directly replaced on the same page. I think if these split, it would also follow that Item:Well Model (Animal Crossing) is split into Item:Shrine Model (Doubutsu no Mori+) (currently a redirect), but maybe that should be a separate discussion.
