Creating a disambiguation page
To create a disambiguation page, start the article you wish to be such a page, and enter the following text layout:
(Page name) may refer to: * [[Article 1]] * [[Article 2]] * [[Article 3]]
Replace the "page name" and use the appropriate article names, of course.
Don't forget to tag the page with {{Disambig}}, which indicates that it is a disambiguation page and automatically categorises it appropriately.
Examples
For a page with pagename "Carlo (disambiguation)":
{{Disambig}}
(Carlo) may refer to:
* [[Carlo (Baggage Claim)]]
* [[Carlo (Port-Ludo)]]
You could also add short distinctive descriptions for each one instead of their full page names, preferably with additional links to their context, like this:
{{Disambig}}
(Carlo) may refer to:
* [[Carlo (Baggage Claim)|Carlo]] - the worker guy downstairs in the [[Baggage Claim]] on [[Citadel Island]]
* [[Carlo (Port-Ludo)|Carlo]] - the quetch jeux de boule player in [[Port-Ludo]] on [[Desert Island]]
Note: convention is to name this kind of page appropriately, like "Carlo (disambiguation)"
