Okay copied from the Dalit Buddhism page where I was working on:

" If someone above my (relatively rookie) Wiki skills would be so kind to start with, or help in, making headwords for the at least three 'Karuna Trusts'I found (one in UK linked with TBMSG, one in Kerala doing local medical work and the third in Sri Lanka) and then a disambiguation page on top of it? Headwords/topics themselves would remain quite basic, but it would help Wikipedia to show the audience at least that there is confusion possible..."

Tnx,

PS I'm out on holiday for a week starting tomorrow so might not be very quick in following-up

Mmmh, what's your question?

Oh and it is normally prohibited to copy 'n paste materials from other sites by law (licenses problem). mabdul 16:07, 1 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

{{helpme}} The question is, to rephrase, how to make a disambiguation page and then three new headword pages also. The headword pages all would have the phase 'Karuna Trust' in it but then e.g. 'Karuna Trust (UK based charity)', 'Karuna Trust (India based charity)', and 'Karuna Trust (Srilankan volunteer movement)'. Leave it to me to fill the sub pages themselves, but the model with creating new topics and then a 4th disambiguation topic which is the first to pop up when someone searches for 'Karuna Trust' is a bridge too far for doing it myself without creating too much technical harm. BTW, I copypasted from the discussion page for another Wikipedia headword where this issue remained unanswered already for a few days...

Tnx,

If none of the pages would be the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC then the DAB page will be called Karuna Trust and would be like...

{{refer}}

* [[Karuna Trust (UK based charity)]] -
* [[Karuna Trust (India based charity)]] -
* [[Karuna Trust (Srilankan volunteer movement)]] -

Following the "-" you do a very brief explanation - see WP:DAB.

If one of the pages was vastly more important then that would take the title Karuna Trust, and the DAB page would be at Karuna Trust (disambiguation), and you add a 'hatnote' to the very top of that main page thus

{{About|the use of this page}}

at the top of the article - to show a DAB page for other articles - see Template:About. DAB pages should have one blue link per line, so make the articles first.  Ronhjones  ^(Talk) 18:54, 1 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds great, hope it suffices and otherwise now probably I'll understand the help texts a lot more. Will try after h'day!

Karuna Trust, which you submitted to Articles for creation, has been created.

• The article has been assessed as Disambig-Class, which is recorded on the article's talk page. You may like to take a look at the grading scheme to see what needs to be done to bring it to the next level.
• Please continue making quality contributions to Wikipedia. Note that because you are a logged-in user, you can create articles yourself, and don't have to post a request.
• If you would like to help us improve this process, please consider leaving us some feedback.

Thank you for helping Wikipedia!

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Upekkha, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Indifference. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Transportation in Calgary, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Banff (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

For future reference in case you do similar renamings, when you moved School of Economic Science to School of Philosophy and Economic Science and moved its talk page too, the talk page archives stayed at their old names such as Talk:School of Economic Science/Archive 1. This meant there weren't any links to the archives on the current talk page or any other clues they existed. I've now moved the three archives to Talk:School of Philosophy and Economic Science/Archive 1 etc and by wikimagic, the links on the talk page are back. NebY (talk) 19:37, 8 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm Kingsif. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to 2019 Sri Lanka Easter bombings have been undone because they did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Teahouse. I know very well you refuse to believe your editing is disruptive, but trust me, it is.Template:Z186 Kingsif (talk) 19:25, 2 April 2021 (UTC) Sorry my trust for your understanding the Wiki techniques is probably decent. My trust in your understanding what is neutrality and what is the proper information representation of a case like this is zero. What I am doing is constructive and what you are doing is the opposite. Will soon have to make time for a DRN procedure, sorry. Erikdr (talk) 19:36, 2 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
