How to make disambiguation columns

Sir, I wish to know more in this subject; because the guide is really complex. Imdofficial69 (talk) 13:36, 1 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Imdofficial69: I am not entirely sure what you mean. If you man how you add an entry to a disambiguation page, the first thing you should do is check wether the person is notable by Wikipedia's definition. If it doesn't, don't bother trying to add the entry. Tpoics which already have articles about them often are, while such topics who don't often aren't. Next, you would identify the correct subsection of the disambiguation page. For example, if I were to add a fictional character named Harry from the fictive book A complete book of ficticous humanoid characters to the disambiguation page Harry, it would go in the "People and fictional characters" section there, or perhaps in one of the more precise disambiguation pages linked there. Once you have identified the correct section, create a new bullet point there that has exactly one link to the article in question, and briefely state the difference. An example could look like this:
  • Harry, character in A complete book of ficticous humanoid characters
Hoe this helps. (Yust a side note, answering questions at the Teahouse is often faster than answering at individuel editor's talkpages, unless you need that specific editor to reply) Victor Schmidt (talk) 15:10, 1 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Spelling correction to Help desk post suggested

Hello Victor. In your response of 08:36, 10 June 2021 (UTC) to "Help with the constant deletion of the page "Yewande Sadiku"" on the Help desk, you might want to correct your spelling of "accounts", since currently it inadvertently includes an obscenity that might prove distracting to readers :-). {The poster formerly known as 87.81.230.195} 2.122.0.58 (talk) 16:45, 10 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
