Disambiguation page

A disambiguation page is a page, found by searching, that lists multiple articles containing the searched-for word, called the Keyword in this page.

{{ disambig }} must be included in the top of a disambiguation page; this adds the page to the Category:Disambiguation.

A disambiguation page is plain; it should not be assigned to any other category or workgroup, should not have a /Definition page, nor have subpages.

A disambiguation page should contain only a list of articles using the {{ tl | rpl | Article name }}[1] format.

Each article so listed will display as a bullet item with the [[Article name/Definition]] page contents shown to the right, plus an icon showing the article's development status.

NOTE: There are a couple of ways to create a Definition. One is by looking at the Disambiguation page and clicking on the "[e]" (edit) at the end of each definition link. Another is from the Discussion page of the disambiguated article, by clicking the appropriate link near the top of the Discussion subpage.

Disambiguation articles

In each disambiguated article (listed in the disambiguation page), two things are needed:

  1. {{ seealso | Keyword }} should be placed at the top of each disambiguated article to help readers find other meanings of the searched-on keyword
  2. A definition should be created, if it doesn't already exist, at [[Article name/Definition]]; the contents of the definition page will appear on the disambiguation page if the article is listed as described above.

  1. NOTE: {{ tl | rpl | Article name }} differs from {{ tl | r | Article name }}; the latter is used on Related Articles subpages
