'''Disambiguation''' is the process of resolving conflicts in article titles that occur when a single term can be associated with more than one topic, making that term likely to be the natural title for more than one article. In other words, disambiguations are paths leading to different articles which could, in principle, have the same title.

Topics which can be confused by having similar but non-conflicting names, especially similar topics, can also be treated using a similar process to disambiguation.

== What template should I use? ==
Considering that the templates used for disambiguation are not exactly the same as on Wikipedia, the following table presents the templates implemented on the Xenharmonic Wiki.

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Template
! Type
! Where to transclude
! Use cases
|-
| [[Template:About]]
| Hatnote
| On each related topic's page (except if the page title is disambiguated in parentheses)
|
* Two or more topics have conflicting names, but one topic stands out as the primary topic. They do not conflict with the title of a primary topic's redirect.
* Two or more topics have similar names and meanings, and the distinction between the names and/or the meanings is not obvious enough to use [[Template:Distinguish]].
|-
| [[Template:Disambiguation]]
| Message box
| On a disambiguation page
|
* Two or more topics have conflicting names, but naming and describing them all in the hatnote on the primary topic's page would be unreasonably long.
|-
| [[Template:Distinguish]]
| Hatnote
| On each related topic's page
|
* Two or more topics have similar names and meanings, and the distinction is obvious.
|-
| [[Template:Redirect]]
| Hatnote
| On the primary topic's page
|
* Two or more topics have conflicting names, but one topic stands out as the primary topic. They also conflict with the title of a primary topic's redirect.
|-
| [[Template:See also]]
| Hatnote
| On each related topic's page (either one way or both ways, depending on context)
|
* Two pages cover related topics and have similar but unambiguous titles.
|}
<references />

If two or more topics have conflicting names, but no topic stands out as the primary topic, then a disambiguation page should be created, and the conflicting name should redirect to that disambiguation page. No use of [[Template:Redirect]] is necessary.
