This is the common CSS for all the skins. Use it only for styling things within the content area (stub notices, message boxes, spoiler/disambiguation messages, etc). --[[User:CesarB|cesarb]] 16:54, 11 July 2005 (UTC)

[[Wikipedia:Disambiguation|Disambiguation]] pages exist to clarify confusion where two or more similarly named articles exist - for example if two famous people have the same name. Ideally, other articles should not link to disambiguation pages; links should go directly to the appropriate "real" article instead.

This page lists disambiguation pages that have had incoming links, which have been fixed. Perhaps they've been added from [[Wikipedia:Disambiguation pages with links]]. However, they need monitoring.

== Merge template style ==

==How to help==

Please replace the ".Merge" and ".Merge td" styles with this code. Basically, this was mistakenly added as a "class", rather than an "id". Note that in this CSS, disambig and spoiler are done as id, so this change is consistent. Perhaps you could also group those template styles together so they are easier to see.

.messagebox {

border: 1px solid #aaaaaa;

background-color: #f9f9f9;

margin: 0em auto 1em auto;

width: 85%;

text-align: justify;

padding: .2em;

}

# Pick a disambiguation page to check from the list below.

.messagebox.merge {

# Move it to the bottom of the list.

border: 1px solid #cf9fff;

# Visit the target disambiguation page.

background-color: #f5edf5;

# Click on the [[Wikipedia:What links here|What links here]] link in the "toolbox" on the left-hand side of the page.

text-align: center;

# For each of the pages you see there, visit that page and change the link that goes to the disambiguation page to a link to one of the articles listed on the disambiguation page. It is most important to fix articles in the main namespace; articles with "Talk:" and "User:" prefixes, as well as "Wikipedia:" administrative pages, don't necessarily need to be fixed.

}

#In order to help people find this project, consider using an edit summary like the following: '''<nowiki>disambiguation link repair ([[Wikipedia:Disambiguation pages maintenance|You can help!]]</nowiki>)'''

Let me know when this is complete, so I can correct the related [[User:Lifeisunfair/Templates|templates]] quickly. -- [[User:Netoholic|Netoholic]] [[User talk:Netoholic|@]] 21:22, 13 July 2005 (UTC)

==General lists==

:Ids are supposed to be unique on a given page; classes can be reused. Multiple merge templates on the same page sometimes make sense, as recently seen on [[Wikipedia:How to create policy]] (even though the actual ''merges'' didn't). &mdash;[[User:Cryptic|Cryptic]] [[User talk:Cryptic|(talk)]] 22:58, 13 July 2005 (UTC)

:: You make a good point. This is a good time to move to the class-only method. I've changed the code above to a better scheme. You can see a test [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Template_sandbox&diff=18786722&oldid=18733673 here] using divs and tables. Can I get someone to add the new code? -- [[User:Netoholic|Netoholic]] [[User talk:Netoholic|@]] 02:32, 14 July 2005 (UTC)

==Specific lists==

For reference in disambiguating abbreviations in "Politics of" articles, see [[Abbreviations used in CIA World Factbook]].

The following disambiguation pages are linked to frequently, and need monitoring.

#[[Roman]]

#[[Finnish]]

#[[French]]

#[[German]]

#[[Irish]]
