* ''Title'' University

The above does not apply if the subject is commonly referred to simply by ''Title''. For instance, [[Wikipedia:Oxford (disambiguation)|Oxford (disambiguation)]] should link to [[~~Wikiedia~~:University of Oxford|University of Oxford]] and [[Wikipedia:Catalina|Catalina]] might include [[Wikipedia:Santa Catalina Island, California|Santa Catalina Island, California]]. If there is disagreement about whether this exception applies, it is often best to assume that it does.

After all of the disambiguation content (including the See also section, if present), but before any categories (see below), a template should be placed identifying the page as a disambiguation page. This generates a message to the reader explaining the purpose of the page, and also places the page in the appropriate [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Categorization|category or categories]].

The usual template to use is {{tl|disambig}}, which produces a general disambiguation notice, and places the page in [[:Category:Disambiguation ~~pages~~]]. Parameters can be added to place the page ''additionally'' into other more specific disambiguation categories.

Do not use <code><nowiki>{{subst:disambig}}</nowiki></code> or <code><nowiki>{{subst:disambig-cleanup}}</nowiki></code>, as the contents of this notice may change in the future (see [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Transclusion costs and benefits|Wikipedia:Transclusion costs and benefits]]). Also, the MediaWiki software relies on links to the templates to determine which pages are disambiguation pages, and subst'ing breaks this feature.
