Sometimes there are two or more wikis with the same name, like [[GoWiki]].  Or there's a name that's just inherently ambiguous, like [[AnUnnamedUseModWiki]].  So to clarify, we name them [[AmbiguousName (qualifier)]].

'''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, [[AnUnnamedUseModWiki]] is a disambiguation page that points to [[AnUnnamedUseModWiki (stage.itp.tsoa.nyu.edu)]].  Because the name is inherently ambiguous, we've added the domain name in parens.
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.


*[[GoWiki]] - [http://wiki.go.art.pl/index.php/HomePage]
==Examples==
*[[Another Go Wiki not yet in WikiIndex]] - [http://www.gowiki.org GoWiki]
For example, [[AnUnnamedUseMod Wiki]]
*[[Sensei's Library]] - [http://senseis.xmp.net/ Sensei's Library]
{|style="width:41em; border-style:solid; border-color:gray; border-width:2px; margin:0px; padding:5px"
|'''AnUnnamedUseMod Wiki''' here on [[:Category:All|WikiIndex]] may refer to one or more of the following:
*[[AnUnnamedUseMod Wiki (stage.itp.tsoa.nyu.edu)]]
{{Disambiguation}}
|}
Because its name is inherently ambiguous, we have added its domain name in parenthesis.
 
 
Another example is [[GoWiki]].
{|style="width:41em; border-style:solid; border-color:gray; border-width:2px; margin:0px; padding:5px"
|'''GoWiki''' here on [[:Category:All|WikiIndex]] may refer to one or more of the following:
*[[GoWiki (Polish)]]
*[[Sensei's Library]] which uses the [[:Category:GoWiki|GoWiki]] wiki engine
*[[GoWiki.org]]
{{Disambiguation}}
|}
 
==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.
