A '''Disambiguation''' page is used on [[Halopedia]] when one word can link to several articles with similar names. Disambiguations are used as navigational aids to allow users easier access to all pages that they may wish to access. Disambiguations vary in how broad they are, as some words, like "[[Keyes]]" only link to three possible pages, while more common words like "[[Rifle]]" can have many more meanings. It is incredibly helpful to Halopedia that as many disambig pages are created as possible so that typing in any word on the "search" function will yield easy to read results. | A '''Disambiguation''' page is used on [[Halopedia]] when one word can link to several articles with similar names.
