This template will only be used in Mirage (US) aircraft type articles, I see no need to disambiguate the title. A note could be added along the lines of "For the Dassault Mirage range, see Dassault Mirage." just below the title area. This might also help editors avoid using it inappropriately. — Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 08:12, 2 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Do you mean a hatnote on the nav box template? - Ahunt (talk) 17:01, 2 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, to appear when you click [show]. For example this uses the "above" parameter:
I think that is far messier a solution that just having the actual name of the manufacturer in the title. Just writing Mirage Aircraft Corporation is clearer and completely unambiguous. - Ahunt (talk) 17:34, 2 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The actual name of the company is Mirage. The legal name is the longer form that no-one uses. I have encountered the below but not above - excellent solution - thanks - NiD.29 (talk) 18:18, 2 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
We are discussing solutions to this, there is no consensus to do that at this point. - Ahunt (talk) 19:30, 2 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
undone, here is alternate version. Not sure disambiguation is required since it will only ever appear at the bottom of listed pages - and additions or removals is an editing decision, not a navigating one the way disambiguation is normally needed. If someone gets silly and tries to add it to unrelated pages, it'll get removed from those pages anyway. In any case, the filename used for adding the template to a page is almost always the shortest name anyway.
I think it is quite unnecessary and messy-looking. It also makes this box very non-standard-looking. One of the reasons to use the same format in all nav boxes, rather than a hodge-podge of them as it is now, is to give the readers a uniform experience for navigating to other articles, making it more predictable, easier to understand and use. Perhaps you weren't around about ten years ago when we had the "nav box wars" (one editor tried to get pretty much every aircraft nav box deleted), but that was when we started doing them in a more standard manner. - Ahunt (talk) 19:56, 2 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
