Wikipedia:Disambiguation dos and don'ts

Disambiguation pages are not encyclopedia articles – they are navigation aids!
Users arrive at these pages with a specific article in mind. So when you edit these pages:
DO:
Limit descriptions to what's necessary.
Put the link at the start of each entry.[a]
Sort entries; group by subject if necessary.
Put the primary topic at the top, if one exists.
Use {{Wiktionary}} for dictionary definitions.[b]
Fix incoming links to target the intended page.
Tag pages that need work with {{dab cleanup}}.
DON'T:
Don't include entries without a blue link.
Don't include red links unless used in articles.[c]
Don't include multiple blue links in an entry.
Don't include references or external links.
Don't list dictionary definitions.[b]
Don't list every article containing the title.
Don't pipe links except to format.[a]

Do consider joining WikiProject Disambiguation.


Cite error: There are <ref group=lower-alpha> tags or {{efn}} templates on this page, but the references will not show without a {{reflist|group=lower-alpha}} template or {{notelist}} template (see the help page).
