[hide][top]Distinguishing the disambiguated target articles

A disambiguation article points to various target articles that have a specific context, so you need to make sure these target articles have names which are different from the generic article that needs disambiguation.

Make sure to name the various disambiguated articles with some context before you link to them in the disambiguation article:
1. Disambig article naming method 1:
  - Use name in the form of :
  - Example Druid:Claw.
2. Disambig article naming method 2:
  - Use name in the form of ()
  - Example Chest (container).
You can use move to rename articles assuming the new name isn't used already.

[hide][top]Making a disambiguation article

Once you've made the target articles distinctive, you need to make an article with links to articles with specific context.

Add the {{disambig}} tag to the top of the page.
Disambig listing method 1:
1. Start with "Were you looking for:" (optionally add ).
2. List each related article link with some context or in a descriptive question:
3. Optionally, separate each entry with an –OR– or simply -OR-.
  - Example:
  - :* The Pet:Claw|claw]] pet ability?
  - ::–OR–
  - :* The Druid:Claw|claw]] druid bear form ability?
  - Looks like:
  - :Were you looking for:
  - :* The claw pet ability?
  - ::–OR–
  - :* The claw druid bear form ability?
Disambig listing method 2:
1. List each related article beginning with "For more information on the , see .":
  - Example:
  - :* For more information on the pet ability, see Pet:Claw.
  - :* For more information on the druid bear form ability, see Druid:Claw.
  - Looks like:
  - :* For more information on the pet ability, see Pet:Claw.
  - :* For more information on the druid bear form ability, see Druid:Claw.
