Text of the page (random words):
s only one existing article by that name all other suggested articles are red linked the normal rules for primary topic still apply the existing article is not automatically the primary topic nor is there automatically no primary topic so if the article with the blue link is the primary topic it should be the primary landing page possibly via a redirecting to a primary topic the disambiguation page should be at a page with the disambiguation qualifier if there is no primary topic then the disambiguation page should be the primary landing page on the rare occasions that a red linked article would be the primary topic the situation is treated as if there is no primary topic until the red linked article is written please note wikipedia manual of style disambiguation pages items appearing within other articles still applies any red linked entry should still have a blue link to an article that covers the redlinked topic disambiguation page or hatnotes see also wikipedia article titles when a spelling variant indicates a distinct topic wikipedia hatnotes are cheap and wikipedia primary topics in wp oneother situations for more about hatnotes see wikipedia disambiguation hatnotes for rules about naming disambiguation pages and combining similar terms on a single page see wikipedia disambiguation disambiguation pages as discussed above if an ambiguous term has no primary topic then that term needs to lead to a disambiguation page in other words where no topic is primary the disambiguation page is placed at the base name no primary topic shortcuts wp noprimary wp noprimary wp dabtwo wp dabtwo if there are multiple topics even just two to which a given title might refer but there is no primary topic per the criteria at is there a primary topic then the base name should lead the reader to the disambiguation page for the term for example john quested is a disambiguation page for the two people by that name who can be found in the encyclopedia john quested may refer to john quested officer 1893 1948 english world war i flying ace john quested producer born 1935 british film producer primary topic with only one other topic shortcut wp oneother wp oneother if there is a primary topic located at the base name then the question arises whether to create a disambiguation page or merely to link to all the other meanings from a hatnote on the primary topic article if there are only two topics to which a given title might refer and one is the primary topic then a disambiguation page is not needed it is sufficient to use a hatnote on the primary topic article pointing to the other article this means that readers looking for the second topic are spared the extra navigational step of going through the disambiguation page if an existing disambiguation page does not appear to be needed because there are only two topics for the ambiguous title and one of them is the primary topic but there could reasonably be other topics ambiguous with the title on wikipedia now or in the future an about hatnote can be used to link to a disambiguation page either in addition to or instead of a link directly to the other article at the same time the one other topic template should be added to the top of the disambiguation page which will inform users that the page has only two ambiguous terms one of them primary thus it may be deleted if after a period of time no additional ambiguous topics are found to expand the disambiguation page the one other topic template will also list the article in category disambiguation pages containing one non primary topic allowing other editors to locate these pages and help in expanding them if the two dab page has been expanded to include additional ambiguous topics one other topic template should be removed and a direct link in the primary article to the other article may not be needed anymore as a link to the disambiguation page alone may be sufficient primary topic with two or more other topics shortcuts wp twoother wp twoother wp threeother wp threeother wp fourother wp fourother wp manyother wp manyother wp multipleother wp multipleother if there are two or three other topics it is still possible to use a hatnote which lists the other topics explicitly but if this would require too much text roughly if the hatnote would extend well over one line on a standard page then it is better to create a disambiguation page and refer only to that primary topic with a significant secondary topic among other topics shortcuts wp 2dabs wp 2dabs wp twodabs wp twodabs if a disambiguation page is needed but one of the other topics is of particular interest then it may be appropriate to link to it explicitly as well as linking to the disambiguation page for example moon is about the primary topic the natural satellite that orbits around earth and a hatnote links to both natural satellite and moon disambiguation styling variants shortcut wp dabstylevar wp dabstylevar if the titles of two articles differ only in capitalization pluralization spacing or punctuation as per wp diffcaps or wp pluralpt the articles each should contain a hatnote to link to each other for example ice cube and ice cube

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

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 linked entry title avoids confusion piping may be used for formatting or technical reasons see the manual of style exceptions consolidate multiple disambiguation links into as few disambiguation hatnotes as possible see wikipedia hatnote for other guidelines on the proper use of disambiguation hatnotes disambiguation pages further information wikipedia manual of style disambiguation pages about 3 of wikipedia s 7 247 149 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
