A disambiguation page is a "junction" page, linking to several articles of the same name. Although in the LBA worlds this is less common, we might sometimes encounter the need for such a page.

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 "page name" and "article #" appropriately, of course.

Don't forget to "sign" the page with the Disambig template, which indicates that this is a disambiguation page. Example:

(Carlo) may refer to:
* [[Carlo (Baggage Claim)]]
* [[Carlo (Port-Ludo)]]

{{Disambig}}

Lastly, you could add short distinctive descriptions for each one, preferably with additional links to their context, like this:

(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]]

{{Disambig}}

Note: convention is to name these pages appropriately, like "Carlo (disambiguation)"
