 What do you do in the case where there is more than one Wiki with the same name? There are two wikis devoted to the Korean(?) FPS ''Blackshot'', both of which use the moniker [[Blackshot Wiki]]. Both seem to be in development, without much content as of yet. Both are linked from Wikiindex article. Maybe I'll try to set up two infoboxes for the short term. --[[User:MarvelZuvembie|MarvelZuvembie]] 18:22, 6 October 2008 (EDT)
+:Hmm. This is bound to happen more in the future, so a formal policy would be a good idea.
+:Maybe a 'disambiguation page' might be appropriate for this sort of thing? You could have the disambiguation page at 'Blackshot Wiki' and have that page point to both of the wikis using the name. Then each wiki could have a disambiguation template on the top of the page that says something along the line of: ''This wiki has an identical name to at least one other wiki, for other wikis called <insert name> see the <insert name> disambiguation page.''
+:Another way to handle this would be to have a link on top of both wikis that says something like: ''This is the Blackshot Wiki set up by <whoevermadethewiki>, for the Blackshot Wiki set up by <whoevermadetheotherwiki> see <whateverthelinkis>.'' That sounds more like what you have done for your short term solution. [[User:David Shepheard|David Shepheard]] 09:50, 12 April 2009 (EDT)
