== Disambiguation ==
Hi, Magda. I don't think it's necessary to have a disambiguation page except for saints with extremely common names (e.g., John, Basil, etc.), and then just make a page with a name like this [[Basil (disambiguation)]]. I don't think there's a need to link all the individual sainted Johns Basils (or whomever) back to the disambiguation page. I do think it would be best to have disambiguation pages include "(disambiguation)" in the article name, though. There are some people where you wouldn't want to have the bare name article be a disambig. page, such as [[Jesus]] (though one theoretically could, since we have people like Jesus of Navi, i.e., the Prophet Joshua).
I agree that it is hard to figure out what to call article names sometimes. Ideally, you'd use whatever you might see on an icon, but of course we probably don't have icons sitting in front of us for a lot of these folks. I'd advise you to do the best you can, and then where you discover potential conflicts, find some way of sorting them out for each situation. --[[User:ASDamick|Rdr. Andrew]] 07:59, 1 Mar 2005 (CST)
