This is a list of terms with several uses, at least one of which is expected to be listed under CZ:Core Articles. It is meant as an aid in structuring the Core Articles coherently across fields, and thus the overlap with Category:Disambiguation will be limited. Once all of the entries listed below appear like those on Band, Product and Society, we're done with core disambiguation formatting and can go on to create contents on the different uses of these terms. The list is long already and loaden with templates, so any substantial additions should be discussed on the talk page first, so as to avoid problems with page size.

Color and pictogram clues to the state of the basename:

  • The color of the basename link can be blue, tan or red and is meaningful:
    • If basename is blue a cluster exists, the article should be moved to a new disambiguated basename and the basename redirected to the diambiguation page.
    • If basename is tan (and italicised too) there are three possible reasons:
      1. A redirect exists, although not necessarily to the disambiguated term.
      2. It is already a disambiguation page and needs to be moved to the the correct location of "basename (disambiguation)"
      3. It is an article without subpages (rarer). This page needs to be moved to a new disambiguated basename and the basename should be redirected to the diambiguation page.
    • If basename is red the page does not exist. This page needs to be redirected to the diambiguation page.
  • Level0.jpg indicates that a disambiguation page has been set up and the old definition page has been deleted.
  • A red "Definition" (and italicised too) below is a link to add a {{speedydelete}} template to the old definition, assuming it has been moved to the new disambiguated location first.

The goal is to have a tan basename (a redirect to the disambiguation page) followed by a green check (indicates the old definition page has been deleted). For example, {{r|Band|D}} gives:

  • D [r]: Please do not use this term in your topic list, because there is no single article for it. Please substitute a more precise term. See Band (disambiguation) for a list of available, more precise, topics. Please add a new usage if needed.
