Disambiguation pages

 * Proposal:


 * If a possible article name is common to two or more topics, and
 * if the page's name is unambiguous, and
 * if it can be assumed that anyone who is searching on a particular article name will be looking for one particular article,
 * then the article most likely to be searched for should have the appropriate title; any other article that might take that title will be given another appropriate title. If there should be enough topics that could use this title, a disambiguation page should be named with that common title, plus "(disambiguation)".

But
 * If the article name is common to two or more topics
 * but neither article is predominantly referred to (see Special:Whatlinkshere/ )
 * then the disambiguation page should not have "(disambiguation)"; the articles that could carry that name will be given an appropriate title as is mentioned above.

Categories and articles

 * Proposal:


 * Category pages should have a link to an article that contains the primary information at the top, that page should have (for that category only, and any other categories for which it is the primary article) a sort key that puts that page at the top of the list. Therefore, the only information on a category page will be links to relevant articles, but not any significant information.
