NSWiki:Disambiguation

Disambiguation in NSwiki is the process of resolving the conflict that occurs when articles about two or more different topics have the same natural title.

NSwiki thrives on the fact that making links is simple and automatic: as you're typing in an edit window, put brackets around Mercury (like this: [[Mercury]]) and you'll have a link. But were you intending to link to Mercury the region, the planet, the nation, or the Roman god?

In NSwiki, our primary activity is chronicling the world of NationStates. Therefore, NSwiki policy is that "official" NS names take precedence. In the case where a name is shared by a Region and a Nation, the Region gets the "official" NSwiki page, and the nation should be renamed pagename (nation).

The primary pagename should have as its first element a link to pagename (disambiguation). This disambiguation page will provide a place for all claimants to differentiate between and link to their variant names.
