Components & Tips

The name of the subject in question is bolded and followed by a list that links to each child page

Make sure this disambiguation is added to a fitting category for what it describes.

Finally, make sure that each page that might redirect to this character/object redirects to the disambiguation. For example, given the above, we would set the pages Skyra and Skyra Daring to be:
