Wikipedia:WikiProject Disambiguation

All disambiguation pages, as described at .

First, please read , which describes disambiguation pages; and , which describes guidelines about when and how to disambiguate.

If you are a coder, you can help with the automated tools:

There are many instances where a new disambiguation page is needed.

Use "Foo" rather than "Foo (disambiguation)" as the disambiguation page name unless there is a primary topic. If "Foo" is a redirect to "Foo (disambiguation)", the disambiguation page is malplaced, and should be moved from "Foo (disambiguation)" to "Foo". In some cases, you may be able to use the move tool immediately. If the move requires technical assistance, you can report it at or list it at .

Pick a page from Category:Disambiguation pages in need of cleanup. Check the recent edit summaries in the history and the talk page for comments earlier editors may have left. When you finish cleaning up a page, please change its {{}} to {{}} (or change {{}} to {{}}).

If you see that a disambiguation page needs to be cleaned up, but you cannot or do not want to do it yourself, you can tag the page for cleanup by changing the {{}} template to {{}} (or changing {{}} to {{}}). These -cleanup templates add the page to Category:Disambiguation pages in need of cleanup and change the descriptive text on the page. You can describe specific problems on the talk page of the disambiguation page to help other editors see what needs to be done.

Disambiguation pages do not use hatnotes, except for {{}} and {{}} on base-name dabs.

If you come across a page with only 2 ambiguous terms, one of which is the primary topic, you can tag the top with {{}}, which will notify users that the page needs additional disambiguation terms, and will place the page in 2-DAB category listed above.

Most links from articles to disambiguation pages are in error and need to be repaired. They can be repaired by choosing an article and repairing all its links to disambiguation pages, or by choosing a disambiguation page and repairing all incoming links to it from articles.

To choose an article, type its page name into the dablinks tool (see below). For help, see .

Do not guess how to fix the link; if you have trouble, tag the link with {{}}.

If you want a challenge, try to repair difficult links, those tagged with {{}}. Articles with such tagged links can be found in Category:Articles with links needing disambiguation, and tips on repairing them is given in .
