=== Disambiguation page === A disambiguation page lists and links to all articles that naturally would have this name, or are substantially similar in title. A good example of this would be [[Dania]]. When creating a disambiguation page, you should include the '''{{tl|disambiguation page}}''' template at the bottom of the page, which will display the following text: {{ambox|image=[[File:Disambig.png|50px]]|text=This is a '''disambiguation''' page; that is, one that points to other pages that have the same or a similar name. If you followed a link here, you might want to go back and fix that link to point to the appropriate specific page.}} ==== Links to disambiguation pages ==== While it is generally okay for disambiguation pages to be [[GoArch:Orphan|orphans]]βit is more appropriate for other articles to link to the specific subjects rather than to the disambiguation page βwe want to avoid cluttering the [[Special:Lonelypages|list of orphaned pages]] with these ''intentional'' orphans. Thus, all disambiguation pages should be linked from [[GoArch:Links to disambiguation pages|Links to disambiguation pages]]. Of course, there will be accidental links, and in some cases it will even make sense to point a reader to the disambiguation page rather than to a single specific article (generally, if you want to let the reader choose which topic they are looking for). When linking to a disambiguation page intentionally, the link should be to a redirect to the disambiguation page from the "(disambiguation)" title; in other words, if "Term ABC" is a disambiguation page, a redirect from "Term ABC (disambiguation)" should be created if it does not already exist. The template {{tl|dislk}} can be used for that purpose. This type of redirect is used to indicate any intentional links to the disambiguation page, to distinguish them from accidental or erroneous incoming links that should be disambiguated to the appropriate article.
