Template:Active Wiki Fixup Projects 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, Wikipedia articles should not link to disambiguation pages; instead links should go directly to the appropriate article.

This page lists disambiguation pages that do have incoming links, all of which need to be fixed.

How to help

  1. Pick a disambiguation page to fix from the list below.
  2. Visit the target disambiguation page.
  3. Click on the What links here link in the "toolbox" on the left-hand side of the page.
  4. 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. The most important thing is to fix articles in the main namespace; "Talk:", "User:", and "Wikipedia:" administrative pages do not necessarily need to be fixed.
  5. Please remember: it is more important to disambiguate correctly than to disambiguate fast. Make sure you make the best choice; if you're not sure, leave a note on the talk page and let someone who is more knowledgeable fix it.
  6. Occasionally, links can simply be removed. A term should usually not be linked more than once in one article or section. Also, when the link refers to a general meaning of the word, for which there is no relevant article, removing may be the most sensible option. See Wikipedia:Manual of Style (links). Take care not to remove useful links, though.
  7. If you fix all the main namespace links to that disambiguation page, please move it to the Done section.
  8. In order to help people find this project, consider using an edit summary like the following: Disambiguation link repair - [[Wikipedia:Disambiguation pages with links|You can help!]]

Sometimes, if all or most of the links refer to one meaning of the article name, it may make more sense to redirect the disambiguation page to that article, and perhaps set up a disambiguation block. See Wikipedia:Disambiguation for more details.

It may help to visit the disambiguation page but not the pages it links to, or clear your browser's cache after visiting them. That way, links to the disambiguation page will show up in a different colour (as visited links) and therefore be easier to pick out. Once you become comfortable with the disambiguation process, you may wish to read the Guide to Efficient Disambiguation.

{{Wikipedia:Disambiguation pages with links/Userbox}} can be placed on your userpage to show that you fix ambiguous links. Using this box adds you to Category:Wikipedians who help fix disambiguation pages with links.
