Disambiguation is the process of resolving the conflicts that arise when a single term is ambiguous, and so may refer to more than one topic which the wiki covers. For example, the word "Mod" may refer to Weapon Mods, Shield Mods, Utility Mods, and many other things. There are three important aspects to disambiguation:

  • Naming articles in such a way that each has a unique title.
  • Making the links for ambiguous terms point to the correct article title.
  • Ensuring that someone who searches for a topic using a particular term can get to the information on that topic quickly and easily, whichever of the possible topics it might be.

This page discusses the standard ways of handling the above issues and formatting of disambiguation pages.
