{{anchor|DISAMBIGCAT}}{{shortcut|WP:DISAMBIGCAT}}If the category was renamed because it is ambiguous, and categories exist for two or more meanings, then create a category [[Wikipedia:Disambiguation#Disambiguation pages|disambiguation page]] at the old name, using {{tl|category disambiguation}}. See also [[:Category:Disambiguation categories]]

*{{OOUI icon|information}} ''Note that we:'' usually only do this at an unused category name which is ambiguous, e.g. [[:Category:Lewis]]. If an ambiguous name is used for an active category because it is clearly the [[WP:PRIMARYTOPIC]], and there are only 1 or 2 others, then use a hatnote like the one at [[:Category:Lewes]]. For longer lists, we can also create pages such as [[:Category:Bedford (disambiguation)]].
