 White Wolf:Disambiguation - White Wolf
Disambiguation in WWWiki is the process of resolving the conflict that occurs when articles about two or more different topics have the same natural title.
While it's generally okay for disambiguation pages to be orphans — it's more appropriate for other articles to link to the specific subjects rather than to the disambiguation page — we want to avoid cluttering the List of orphaned pages with these intentional orphans.
Of course, there will be accidental links, and in some cases it will even make sense to point a reader to the disambiguation page rather than to a single specific article (generally, if you want to let the reader choose which topic they are looking for).
