'''Disambiguation''' is the process of resolving ambiguity — meaning the conflict that occurs when a term is closely associated with two or more different topics.

==Multiple names==
{|width="100%" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="5" style="vertical-align:top;background-color:#f9f9f9"
Throughout [[J.R.R. Tolkien]]'s world, names have been used more than once.
* Some names of older tales have been reused for "external" reasons - names like [[Galdor]] and [[Legolas]].
* Some have been used "internally" - the [[Númenóreans]] and [[Gondorians]] and even the [[Hobbits]] naming their offspring after heroes of the [[First Age]]: [[Húrin|Húrin Thalion]] had four Gondorian noblemen named after him.
* Some chapters are named after people or events, that play an important role in it. Examples include ''[[Strider (chapter)]]'', ''[[Treebeard (chapter)]]'' and ''[[Minas Tirith (chapter)]]''.
* Some characters' names have been reused in adaptations - especially [[Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings|Peter Jackson's]] - though they do not represent the character in the book. [[Morwen of Rohan]] is one, and one could argue her son [[Éothain]] is another.


==Disambiguation==
! <h2 style="margin:0;background:#F0F0F0;font-size:120%;font-weight:bold;border:1px solid #C8C8C8;text-align:left;color:#000;padding:0.2em 0.4em;">
Because of this reuse of names, it is important to differentiate these multiple article titles. Some have numbers: [[Aragorn I]] and [[Aragorn II]], for example. Some have epithets. In the worst case, a description goes between brackets: [[Beregond (soldier of Gondor)]] and [[Beregond (Steward of Gondor)]]. The unmarked, naked term, ''[[Beregond]]'', becomes the disambiguation page.  


==Use within the text==
{| width=100% cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"|
Though it may look tiresome to type <nowiki>[[Faramir (son of Denethor II)|Faramir]]</nowiki>, it is important that it happens. Though readers can, in general, deduce which of the offered options is the one they were sent to, correct linking is one of the [[Tolkien Gateway: Standards]] for Featured Articles at least. For all articles that need to be disambiguated, see: [[:Category:Disambiguation]].

|}


==Disambiguation page==
</h2>
There are no lower limits to the disambiguation page: generally, even two terms can be worthy of a disambiguation, though it may not have to be. [[Gimli]] redirects to the Gimli of the Third Age, not to the [[Gimli (Noldo)|insignificant Noldo]] from early writings. [[Legolas]] leads to a redirect, because in those early writings, [[Legolas of Gondolin]] played a more important part.
|-


===Templates===
|style="color:#000;"|
* Disambiguation pages should be tagged with the '''<nowiki>{{disambig}}</nowiki>''' template at the bottom.
<p style="margin:0;color:#000;padding:0.2em 0.4em;">
* If a page has two entries, use the '''<nowiki>{{youmay|subject this article|[[Article name|other article]]}}</nowiki>'''.  
{| width=100%
* In the case of three or more articles, '''<nowiki>{{otherchars|[[Name|Name (disambiguation)}}</nowiki>'''.
|- valign=top style="text-align:center;"
| width=16% |[[File:The Hobbit (1977 film) - Cover.jpg|150px|link=The Hobbit (1977 film)]]


===Exceptions===
[[The Hobbit (1977 film)|The Hobbit]]
* '''Journals''': Many [[Tolkien Society|Tolkien Societies]] have journals, which they name after items in Middle-earth. Some even name their entire Tolkien Society after an item or place in Middle-earth. In such a case, no disambiguation page is necessary. The journals are named, for example, [[Amon Hen (journal)]]. A simple '''<nowiki>{{youmay|[[Amon Hen (journal)]]}}</nowiki>''' at the top of [[Amon Hen]] would do.
* '''Adaptations''': There is no need to make ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'' a disambiguation page containing all adaptations of the book. Adaptations are usually disambiguated by having their director's name followed by the short name of the film.
