restrictions v t e shortcut wp ncdab wp ncdab see also wikipedia article titles disambiguation not to be confused with disambiguation in cases of redirects with no consensus for disambiguating specific topic pages by using an unambiguous article title several options are available natural disambiguation when there is another term such as apartment instead of flat or more complete name such as english language instead of english that is unambiguous commonly used in english even without being the most common term and equally clear that term is typically the best to use comma separated disambiguation ambiguous geographic names are often disambiguated by adding the name of a higher level administrative division separated by a comma as in windsor berkshire c see naming conventions geographic names parenthetical disambiguation a disambiguating word or phrase can be added in parentheses the word or phrase in parentheses should be the generic class avoiding proper nouns as much as possible that includes the topic as in mercury element seal emblem or the subject or context to which the topic applies as in union set theory eagle river colorado or rarely an adjective describing the topic can be used as in vector spatial but it is usually better to rephrase such a title to avoid parentheses for instance vector spatial was renamed to euclidean vector natural disambiguation that is unambiguous commonly used and clear is generally preferable to parenthetical disambiguation for instance fan district and hand fan are used instead of fan district and fan implement if no unambiguous commonly used and clear natural disambiguation is available another type of disambiguation is used if there are several possible choices for parenthetical disambiguation use the same disambiguating phrase already commonly used for other topics within the same class and context if any otherwise choose whichever is simpler for example use mythology rather than mythological figure naming conventions applicable to certain subject areas are listed in the box to the right these often contain detailed guidance about how to disambiguate in particular for articles about people see the disambiguating section in the people naming convention format to conform to the naming conventions the phrase in parentheses should be treated just as any other word in a title normally lowercase unless it is a proper noun like a book title that would appear capitalized even in running text for common disambiguation words see user jarry1250 findings hatnotes shortcuts wp dablink wp dablink wp dablinks wp dablinks for broader coverage of this topic see wikipedia hatnote wp dablink redirects here for links to disambiguation pages see links to disambiguation pages users searching for what turns out to be an ambiguous term may not reach the article they expected therefore any article with an ambiguous title should contain helpful links to alternative wikipedia articles or disambiguation pages placed at the top of the article using one or more of the templates shown below disambiguation hatnotes are not article content they are associated with the title rather than any article topic content in some cases there are multiple templates available one including and another omitting information about the topic of the article the shorter hatnote may be chosen if omitting the information is not likely to confuse the reader on a primary topic page for a term that has one secondary topic only no disambiguation page type about topic topic 2 article 2 to produce this page is about topic for topic 2 see article 2 type for topic 2 article 2 to produce for topic 2 see article 2 on a secondary topic page for a term that has one other topic only no disambiguation page as above but consider whether the hatnote is really necessary see the first of the usage guidelines below on a primary topic page that has an associated disambiguation page type about topic to produce this page is about topic for other uses see article name disambiguation type other uses to produce for other uses see article name disambiguation or if the disambiguation page is not in the default location type other uses name to produce for other uses see name when the primary topic redirects to another page if there is only one secondary topic type redirect redirect topic 2 article 2 on the target page to produce redirect redirects here for topic 2 see article 2 in case the secondary topic is already mentioned in its own title wp titledab one can avoid repeating the topic by typing redirect distinguish redirect article topic 2 on the target page to produce redirect redirects here not to be confused with article topic 2 if there is a disambiguation page type redirect redirect to produce redirect redirects here for other uses see redirect disambiguation other variations on these templates are available including templates for specific subjects such as places numbers etc templates are listed and illustrated at wikipedia hatnotes templates hatnote usage guidelines shortcut wp dablinkug wp dablinkug see also wikipedia hatnotes rules it is usually preferable not to add disambiguation hatnotes to a page whose name already clearly distinguishes itself from the generic term however for some topics this is a good idea for example treaty of paris 1796 should include a hatnote pointing to the disambiguation page treaty of paris disambiguation since many users might not know that there is more than one treaty with this name and we cannot predict what external search engines will link to in other cases such a hatnote is not necessary for example mirror 1975 film is clearly about one specific movie and not about any of the many other meanings of mirror and most users will know to type mirror in the search box to find other topics as noted above disambiguation hatnotes should be placed at the top of an article where they are most visible for alternatives that are related to the article but are not a source of ambiguity the see also section at the end of the article is more appropriate do not use piping to change the title of disambiguation entry links showing the actual

about 3 of wikipedia s 7 248 935 pages are disambiguation pages combining terms on disambiguation pages shortcut wp dabcombine wp dabcombine a single disambiguation page may be used to disambiguate a number of similar terms sets of terms which are commonly so combined include terms that differ only in capitalization and punctuation for example the terms oe oe and o e are disambiguated on a single page oe the use of diacritics varies while we list all known ōe articles at the oe list for ease of access to readers who can t look that up using their keyboard layout the short ōe list also exists to more efficiently serve readers who looked up that detailed form corresponding singular plural and possessive forms or compound words for example the terms eaglenest eagle nest eagle s nest and eagle nests all appear at eagle s nest and flowers disambiguation redirects to flower disambiguation variant spellings for example honor and honour both appear at honor disambiguation variant forms of names for example frederick smith also includes persons named fred smith terms which differ by the presence or absence of an article e g a an or the in english for example cure disambiguation also contains instances of the cure there can be exceptions to this however with e g standard and the standard being separate lists long enough that merging probably wouldn t benefit reader navigation likewise when primary topics and primary redirects are involved there are many exceptions such as city city disambiguation and the city or mississippi the mississippi and mississippi disambiguation editorial judgement should be used in deciding whether to combine terms in the ways described above if a combined disambiguation page would be inconveniently long it may be better to split the disambiguation page into separate pages when a combined disambiguation page is used redirects to it or hatnotes as appropriate should be set up from all the terms involved naming the disambiguation page shortcut wp dabname wp dabname wp dabname redirects here for the manual of style guideline on people s names in disambiguation pages see wikipedia manual of style disambiguation pages given names or surnames see also wikipedia article titles the title of a disambiguation page is the ambiguous term itself provided there is no primary topic for that term if there is a primary topic then the tag disambiguation is added to the name of the disambiguation page as in jupiter disambiguation when a disambiguation page combines several similar terms one of them must be selected as the title for the page with the disambiguation tag added if a primary topic exists for that term the choice should be made in line with the following principles a word is preferred to an abbreviation for example arm disambiguation over arm when no word can be formed all capitals is preferred for example the disambiguation page for ddb is ddb not ddb singulars are preferred to plurals the simplest form of the term is preferred to those containing punctuation and articles for example sa is preferred to s a and shadow disambiguation is preferred to the shadow disambiguation the spelling that reflects the majority of items on the page is preferred to less common alternatives the use of diacritics varies accordingly so for example mana includes some items with diacritics but doesn t use them in the title pena is distinct from peña and joaquin redirects to joaquín as most topics listed there use the latter form and all are generally recognizable under it in addition when a disambiguation page exists at the ambiguous term there should also be a redirect to it from the disambiguation title in other words if term abc is a disambiguation page a redirect from term abc disambiguation should be created if it does not already exist this type of redirect is used to indicate any intentional links to the disambiguation page to distinguish them from accidental or erroneous incoming links that should be disambiguated to the appropriate article order of entries shortcuts wp daborder wp daborder wp dabcommon wp dabcommon see also wikipedia manual of style disambiguation pages ordering entries should be ordered to best assist the reader in finding their intended article this might mean in decreasing order of likelihood as the user s target alphabetically chronologically or geographically not to the exclusion of other methods the primary topic if there is one should be placed at the top in cases where a small number of main topics or just one are significantly more likely to be the reader s target the most common meanings may be placed above other entries with their own introductory line or heading if the list is long common meanings may appear both in the common section and in topical sections see mojave mercury or twister for examples of this page style shortcut wp dabstyle wp dabstyle main page wikipedia manual of style disambiguation pages each disambiguation page comprises a list or multiple lists for multiple senses of the term in question of similarly titled links link to the primary topic if there is one a school is an institution for learning start each list with a short introductory sentence fragment with the title in bold and ending with a colon for example blockbuster may refer to try to start each entry in the list with a link to the target page unless the link provided gives context rather than a synonymous meaning each bulleted entry should have a navigable blue link normally as the entry itself see the previous bullet or in the description if the entry is red linked or unlinked rarely should a bulleted entry have more than one navigable link including more than one link can confuse the reader do not pipe the names of the links to the articles being listed d for exceptions see mos dabpiping entries are sentence fragments do not end them with periods or other punctuation include the template disambiguation or another disambiguation template

wikipedia manual of style disambiguation pages examples of individual entries that should not be created long descriptions and multimedia the purpose of a disambiguation page is to direct a reader seeking information on a topic to the right page it is common to add a little additional information which may make reference to the full article unnecessary for example the disambiguation page for roosevelt contains the entry franklin d roosevelt 1882 1945 32nd u s president on the other hand franklin d roosevelt 1882 1945 us president 1933 1945 democratic party a central figure in world events
