WikiIndex:Disambiguation — sometimes there are two, or more wikis 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, we disambiguate (commonly referred to as 'dab' in the wikisphere), and name them AmbiguousName (qualifier), where the 'qualifier' will be either its domain or host. Wikis of identical names available in different wiki languages will use their two-letter language identifier as the qualifier.
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 do allow red links on disambiguation pages.
Examples
For example, AnUnnamedUseMod Wiki
|
AnUnnamedUseMod Wiki may refer to:
|
Because its name is inherently ambiguous, we have added its domain name in parenthesis.
Another example is GoWiki.
|
GoWiki may refer to:
|
Usage
Simply add the {{disambiguation}} template at the bottom of the relevant disambiguation article edit box (but above any category listings), and save your edit.
