On large disambiguation pages, organizing by subject area helps readers find the page they want. Readers should be able to find their target with minimal reading, by:
- Identifying the relevant section (and then subsection if needed) from headers alone, then
- Identifying the topic they want from the entries in that (sub)section only
without having to descend into irrelevant sections, and without having to read anything twice. This page discusses three principles that enable that goal, and suggested headings to use.
Guidance for individual entries is at Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Disambiguation pages.
