This policy is a draft policy and is in the works - Use the talk page to add comments

A Disambiguation page is a way to resolving conflicts in article titles that occur when a single term can be associated with more than one topic. (See Disambiguation on WikiPedia.)
Some examples of articles on the NC-Wiki which have terms with more than one meaning are Ceres and Neocron.

All wiki Disambiguation pages shall be named in the form of "Term (Disambiguation)" (For example Ceres (Disambiguation).
Other pages with the same term shall be named appropriately either in the form of Ceres (Disks). However in some cases the form of Ceres disks may be more appropiate.
For locations, where there is more than one location for a landscape feature the Disambiguation policy shall be applied as well. (For example Broadcast Tower (A 06), Broadcast Tower (A 07), Broadcast Tower and Broadcast Tower (Disambiguation).

The main article will have a link at the top of the article to the Disambiguation page using the {{dablink}} template.
The disambiguation page should containe a link to all the other pages, with a short brief discription to help the user select the correct article to read.
The content of the main article will be decided by the NC-Wiki admin team. Opinions for the content of the main article can be left on the talk page of the article.
The disambiguation page will transclude the {{disambiguation}} template.
Redirect pages from the main article page to the Disambiguation page are not permitted.
