Help:Disambiguation

A disambiguation page helps distinguish between two entries with similar or identical names. For instance, if there were two relevant people both named Maria Garcia, we might have pages for Maria A. Garcia and Maria L. Garcia, but also create a single Maria Garcia page that would mention both and give a few details to clarify which was which. For instance, it might read:

Maria Garcia may refer to:


 * Maria A. Garcia, professor at Hypothetical University
 * Maria L. Garcia, research coordinator at Hypothetical Government Agency

How to create a disambiguation page
Start a page as you would any other and add a bulleted list of the relevant terms or people. Add one wikilink link per entry: for readability, only link to the term being differentiated, even if the identifying information you add contains terms that also potentially could be linked.

At the bottom of the page, add the category "Disambiguation".
