'''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.
