'''WikiIndex:Disambiguation''' — sometimes there are two or more [[wiki]]s 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]]s or wiki-related subjects with the same or similar name; like [[GoWiki]].  Or there is a name that's just inherently ambiguous, like [[AnUnnamedUseModWiki]].  So to clarify, we 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:WikiFarm|host]].  Wikis of identical names available in different [[:Category:Wiki Language|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 <u>do</u> allow [[red link]]s on disambiguation pages.
==Examples==
For example, [[AnUnnamedUseModWiki]]

Because the name is inherently ambiguous, we've added the domain name in parenthesis.
