 ===Grouping by subject area===

-{{anchor|Organizing long lists by subject sections|reason=Old section name, probably linked to from somewhere.}}
-A large number of topics can make it difficult for a reader to find a particular topic. On longer disambiguation pages, separate entries by subject [[WP:SECTION|sections]]. Subject areas should be chosen carefully {{em|to simplify navigation}}; see [[Wikipedia:Organizing disambiguation pages by subject area|Organizing disambiguation pages by subject area]] for detailed guidance. Use subject areas that are well-defined, and that group the entries into similarly sized sections. Very small sections may impede navigation, and should usually be avoided. Section headings should be as simple as possible; '''Sports''' is preferred to '''Sports people''' or '''Sports figures''', since the nature of the category (people, in this case) should be obvious.
-Entries which do not fit neatly into any section should be placed in an "Other uses" section or subsection, at the bottom of the page or section (but above any [[MOS:DABSEEALSO|"See also" section]]). The "Other uses" section should be relatively short; if it becomes excessively long, the page may need to be reorganized. Uncategorized entries should {{em|never}} be left at the top of the page, with the exception of one or two primary topics as stated [[MOS:DABORDER|above]].

 Keep in mind that a particular division scheme may not work equally well on all disambiguation pages. An example:
