Disambiguation
[edit]It is always a good idea to read the Wikipedia:Manual of Style on a topic before attempting your first edit of that type. In the case of disambiguation, it is not necessary to create a disambiguation page for every ambiguity. If there are only two possible articles, and one topic is primary, such as is the case with Pteryx, normally no disambiguation page is created, instead a disambiguation (dab) hatnote is added at the top of the article that has been written about the primary topic. The hatnote links to the secondary meaning article and saves a click, as well as saving a disambiguation page. See Wikipedia:Disambiguation for greater detail. While I have no personal quibble with disambiguation pages that have only two articles, many editors have expressed a concern where there is not at least three possibilities. --Bejnar (talk) 22:34, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
