My Wikitivity

Disambiguation pages

I am involved in theWikiProject Disambiguation to make the look of disambiguation pages more uniform and consistent; the appropriate reference articles are found at Wikipedia:Disambiguation and Wikipedia:Manual of Style (disambiguation pages). The changes I am most likely to make are:

• The topic is the first word in the line and should usually retain any parenthetical parts of its title
• Only the actual disambiguated article should be wikilinked. No other word should be wikilinked!
• Parentheses in the title should be shown
• Complete sentences should be avoided, and therefore no final punctuation is required
• Lists should be organized and sorted in a logical manner (see the style page for more suggestions)

More substantial articles I want to do:

• 2005-06-28 List of Scotch Distilleries from :de: - bring over the Scotch articles from the German (done)
• 2005-07-01 Put together some sub-pages for variations on 500 (card game). I'm not sure if they belong in sub-pages, but keeping them in sub-pages will make it easier for people to find variation-specific regulations.
• 2005-07-01 "Translate" pages into simple English.
• 2005-07-15 Network coding, a combination of network flow and information theory (no longer needed)
• 2005-07-26 List of graduate school fellowships
• 2005-08-01 Fix up Moment (mathematics) to be more readable (no longer needed)
• 2006-02-08 Clean up Field extension (2006-02-11 done!)
• 2006-02-20 Fix up Closed set (done 2006-04-12!)
