Wikipedia:Long dab dos and don'ts



Long disambiguation pages are best organized by subject.

To quickly get readers where they want, in addition to writing good entries:
DO:
Use clearly defined subject headings
Imitate similar pages
Use subsections as needed
Usually keep (sub)sections to 3-12 entries
Put unsorted entries below in "Other uses"
DON'T:
Don't combine unrelated subject headings
Don't use headings that overlap, if possible
Don't use bold or semicolons for headings
Don't leave unsorted entries floating[a]
Don't list fictional and real items together

Do consider joining WikiProject Disambiguation.
