WikiRaider:Disambiguation
A Disambiguation page is a page which has no actual content. It is here to help resolve conflicts when two or more items share the same name.
Layout
A disambiguation page should have the following layout:
- 1 Intro Sentence
- 2 Disambiguation template {{disambig}}
- 3 List of articles that share the name
- 4 List of articles that are related
- 5 Gallery
- 6 Categories
Note 1: Disambiguation pages should not have a single item at the top, as this sends the message that the shown image represents the article. A disambiguation however is not an article and stands for several items of the same name, not just the one which would be presented in such an image. (Plus: It would disturb the layout.)
Note 2: Please do not add the {{disambig}} template to articles which are no real disambiguations. A disambiguation page is needed, when a term is ambiguous, when it could represent two articles. It is not needed when we have a parent name for clearly named items.
- Examples:
- Is a Disambiguation Page: Alex, there are two distinct characters in the Tomb Raider Multiverse using the first name Alex, thus we have a typical disambiguation page.
- Is NOT a Disambiguation Page: Kanpo Herbs (Kanpo Herbs is used as a term within the games, thus making it a real article, Yagen, Medicinal Herb Vial and Dried Gobo Root are not alternative names as such, they are "children"),
- Grey Area: Birds, strictly speaking not a disambiguation (same as Kanpo Herbs), but could be seen as one
Examples
See the following example pages on how it should work:
- List with descriptions.
- List with description and gallery.
- A typical grey area disambiguation.
