Wikipedia:Disambiguation pages with links/Maintenance

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Josh Parris (talk | contribs) at 07:28, 14 July 2005 (Disambiguation pages maintenance moved to Wikipedia:Disambiguation pages maintenance). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

Disambiguation pages exist to clarify confusion where two or more similarly named articles exist - for example if two famous people have the same name. Ideally, other articles should not link to disambiguation pages; links should go directly to the appropriate "real" article instead.

This page lists disambiguation pages that have had incoming links, which have been fixed. Perhaps they've been added from Wikipedia:Disambiguation pages with links. However, they need monitoring.

How to help

  1. Pick a disambiguation page to check from the list below.
  2. Move it to the bottom of the list.
  3. Visit the target disambiguation page.
  4. Click on the What links here link in the "toolbox" on the left-hand side of the page.
  5. For each of the pages you see there, visit that page and change the link that goes to the disambiguation page to a link to one of the articles listed on the disambiguation page. It is most important to fix articles in the main namespace; articles with "Talk:" and "User:" prefixes, as well as "Wikipedia:" administrative pages, don't necessarily need to be fixed.
  6. In order to help people find this project, consider using an edit summary like the following: disambiguation link repair ([[Wikipedia:Disambiguation pages maintenance|You can help!]])
