A disambiguation page is a page found by Search that lists multiple articles contained the word searched for. {{tl|disambig}} should be added to the top of all disambiguation pages; this will automatically add the page to the Category:Disambiguation.

Please do not assign any other category or workgroup to a disambiguation page; it also should not have subpages.

In the disambiguation page, list each article using the {{tl|rpl|Article name}}[1]. This template will display the [[Article name/Definition]] page, and an icon to indicate the article's development status.

If the [[Article name/Definition]] page is missing for a given disambiguated article, it can be added by clicking on the "[e]" (edit) at the end of each definition link, or added by clicking the appropriate link near the top of the article's Discussion subpage.
