Text of the page (random words):
ist 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 such as geodis or hndis at the bottom as an indicator of the page s status for more information see wikipedia manual of style disambiguation pages the disambiguation notice and categorization for prime examples of disambiguation pages see lift and aurora disambiguation what not to include shortcuts wp dabnot wp dabnot wp dabnoinclude wp dabnoinclude wp dablongdesc wp dablongdesc see also 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 creator of the new deal in a wheelchair from polio since 1921 died in office would be inappropriate it summarises the article rather than merely disambiguating images are discouraged unless they aid in selecting between articles on the particular search term in question see mos dabimg dictionary definitions look up disambiguation in wiktionary the free dictionary shortcuts wp dabdic wp dabdic wp dabdict wp dabdict wp dabforeign wp dabforeign a disambiguation page is not a list of dictionary definitions a short description of the common general meaning of a word can be appropriate for helping the reader determine context otherwise there are templates for linking the reader to wiktionary the wiki dictionary see template wiktionary this should be at the top of the page and can link to variants where appropriate capitalization accents plurals a disambiguation page is also not an interlanguage dictionary partial title matches shortcuts wp partial wp partial wp ptm wp ptm wp partial redirects here for information about wikipedia s policy on partial blocks see wikipedia partial blocks for information on disambiguated article titles see wikipedia partially disambiguated page names wp ptm redirects here for the article title guideline on primary topics see wp titleptm a disambiguation page is not a search index a link to an article title that merely contains part of the disambiguation page title or a link that includes the page title in a longer proper name where there is no significant risk of confusion between them is considered a partial title match and should not be included for example louisville zoo is not included at zoo disambiguation because people outside louisville would not readily identify it as the zoo and including all zoos in the world in the disambiguation page is impractical though list of zoos is listed in the see also section add a link only if the article s subject or the relevant subtopic thereof could plausibly be referred to by essentially the same name as the disambiguated term in a sufficiently generic context regardless of the article s title placenames are often divided between a specific and generic part for example north carolina where carolina is the specific and north the generic part common generics are compass points upper lower old new big small etc it is entirely proper to include such placenames in disambiguation pages with the specific title north carolina is properly listed at carolina disambiguation but only exceptionally under the generic title kingston upon hull often referred to as hull e is properly listed at hull disambiguation but we do not expect to see north carolina in north disambiguation or mississippi river in river disambiguation human names are often divided in multiple parts that serve as natural disambiguation many of these parts are specific in the aforementioned meaning those that are used by readers to refer to a person just like they would use a full name and would reasonably be looked up with an expectation of navigating to eponymous people it is likewise proper to include such names in disambiguation pages provided further guidance under names is observed as well instead of listing partial title matches consider adding the self reference tool templates srt look from or intitle in the see also section which link to all articles starting with or containing a particular term respectively lists of names shortcut wp namelist wp namelist further information wikipedia manual of style disambiguation pages given names or surnames to prevent disambiguation pages from getting too long articles on people should be listed at the disambiguation page for their given name or surname only if they are reasonably well known by it for example we reasonably expect to see abraham lincoln at lincoln but most other lincolns are only in the separate lincoln name anthroponymy list as it s less likely that sources would refer to them by an unqualified lincoln and trying to include them all would make the main list too long consensus among editors determines if an article should be listed on the disambiguation page here we likewise typically want to avoid surprising our readers related subjects shortcut wp dabrelated wp dabrelated include articles only if the term being disambiguated is actually described in the target article for example a use of the term set is discussed in the article on volleyball so set disambiguation legitimately includes an entry for set a team s second contact with the ball in volleyball on the other hand the article on setting the table does not discuss the word set so is not included on the disambiguation page abbreviations initials and acronyms shortcuts wp dababbrev wp dababbrev wp dabacronym wp dabacronym see also wikipedia manual of style disambiguation pages acronyms initialisms and abbreviations do not add articles to abbreviation or acronym disambiguation pages unless the target article includes the acronym or abbreviation we are resolving an ambiguity not making yet another dictionary of abbreviations if an abbreviation is verifiable but not mentioned in the target article consider adding it to the target article and then adding the entry to the disambiguation page in particular do not include people and other things simply because of their initials unless those initials have been widely used john fitzgerald kennedy is widely known as jfk and this is discussed in the article so the initials are appropriately disambiguated however marilyn monroe was never commonly known as mm nor was a a milne known as either aa or aam omit descriptions that are obvious from the title like for pnp philippine national police the national police force of the republic of the philippines references shortcut wp dabref wp dabref do not include references in disambiguation pages disambiguation pages are not articles incorporate references into the articles linked from the disambiguation page as needed external links do not include external links either as entries or in descriptions disambiguation pages disambiguate wikipedia articles not the world wide web to note urls that might be helpful in the future include them on the talk page however a link to wiktionary may be made as mentioned above preparation before constructing a new disambiguation page determine a specific topic name for all existing pages and the name for the disambiguation page move any page with a conflicting title e g the same exact title to its more specific name use the what links here list for the moved page to update pages that link to that page construction if an article has been moved to make way for the disambiguation page use the what links here list of the moved page to access the redirect page created by the move and replace that redirect page with the new disambiguation page use the new disambiguation page to find and replace see table of keyboard shortcuts text editing any existing disambiguation links in existing pages with a link to the new disambiguation page note that the standard link templates will actually point to a term xyz disambiguation version of the new name use the red link on an existing page to create a redirect page marked with the r to disambiguation page template for example term xyz disambiguation could be redirected to the new disambiguation page term xyz as follows redirect term xyz redirect category shell r to disambiguation page categories shortcut wp dbc wp dbc disambiguation pages are not articles and should not be categorized as such article categories should lead readers to relevant articles disambiguation pages should be placed in disambiguation categories only some categories are automatically provided by use of the disambiguation template and parameters geo surname etc hidden categories may appear due to maintenance or other tags and templates but other explicit categories such as category mountains of fooland should not be used on disambiguation pages when a disambiguation page includes a list of name holders in cases where the separate anthroponymy list article has not yet been created explicit categories such as category fooish surnames are acceptable on the disambiguation page until the anthroponymy article is split from the disambiguation page deletion disambiguation pages can be listed for discussion at articles for deletion for uncontroversial cases the simpler process of proposed deletion is also an option disambiguation pages with no bluelinked entries and those ending with disambiguation with only one bluelinked entry can be summarily deleted using speedy deletion criterion g14 f links double
