'''WikiIndex:Disambiguation''' — sometimes there are two or more [[wiki]] | {{TOC right}} | ||
'''WikiIndex: Disambiguation''' — sometimes there are two, or more [[wiki]] sites or wiki-related subjects with the same or similar name; like [[GoWiki]]. Or there is a name that's just inherently ambiguous, like [[AnUnnamedUseMod Wiki]]. So to clarify here on {{tag|WikiIndex}}, we [[Disambiguation|disambiguate]] (commonly referred to as 'dab' in the [[wikisphere]]), and name them <code>AmbiguousName (qualifier)</code>, where the 'qualifier' will be either its domain or [[:Category:Wiki farm|host]]. Wikis of identical names available in different [[:Category:Wiki language|wiki languages]] can use their two-letter language identifier as the qualifier. | |||
For example, [[ | A disambiguation page will be created with the base page name, and will list actual page names of articles (without any 'piped' corrections) of all available articles. We <u>do</u> allow [[red link]]s on disambiguation pages. | ||
''' | ==Examples== | ||
*[[ | For example, [[AnUnnamedUseMod Wiki]] | ||

Because its name is inherently ambiguous, we have added its domain name in parenthesis. | |||

==Usage== | |||
Simply add the <code>{{Template|Disambiguation header}}</code> at the <u>top</u> of the [[edit box]], ''and'' <code>{{Template|Disambiguation}}</code> templates at the bottom of the relevant disambiguation article edit box (but above any [[Special:Categories|category]] listings), and save your edit. | |||
