Wiki 24:Manual of Style

=== Disambiguation pages ===

As illustrated above, the most common form of disambiguation page on '''Wiki 24''' distinguishes between character names.  ''24'' has repeated the first and last names of characters and it can often be confusing.  If two characters share an identical name, or more than two characters share ''similar'' names, a separate disambiguation page is created.

For example, if there exist ''two or more'' characters with the name "Bob", such as "Bob Smith", "Bob Jones", and "Bob Miller", no disambiguation page is needed.  However, if there later appears a character named simply "Bob", who ''lacks'' a surname, a disambiguation page will need to be created — titled "Bob (disambiguation)" — listing all four characters alphabetically with descriptions and links to their proper pages.  The character known only as "Bob" will not need a tag in its title.  Instead it will contain a disambiguation note, which will link to the disambiguation page to assist readers who are looking for another Bob.

If one or more ''other'' characters simply named Bob crop up, ''then'' disambiguation tags will be used, as illustrated earlier.  "Bob" will then be assigned as a redirect to "Bob (disambiguation)".

However, if two pages share a full name (i.e. both first name and last name), then there is no need for a disambiguation page. Most commonly this will occur in the instance of a mentioned character being named after a cast or crew member - in such a case, the real life person is given the normal page name and the namesake in-universe reference is given a disambiguation tag.

All disambiguation pages have the {{tl|disambig}} template, are categorized as such, and most will contain "(disambiguation)" in their title.  Note that these rules apply exactly the same for last-name-only characters, as well as locations and items which share the same name.
