==Shared titles==

It is possible to come across a subject which shares the same title as another subject, in which case identifiers must be used to show which one of the same-named subjects is covered in each page. If there is one subject that is clearly more popular than the others, the popular subject will keep the original title while the others use identifiers. For example, the game gets the ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'' name, whereas the building's article is [[Luigi's Mansion (~~place~~)]]. If the subjects are equally likely to be linked to or searched for, both articles are given identifiers while the plain subject title is made into a disambiguation page (marked with {{tem|disambig}}). For example, [[Super Mario]] is a disambiguation page linking to all the other uses of the title, such as [[Super Mario (series)|''Super Mario'' (series)]] and [[Super Mario (form)]]. If there are five or more pages sharing the same name, a disambiguation page must be used, although it may be given a "(disambiguation)" qualifier if one of the articles has the plain title. For example, the article [[Bowser's Castle]] is about Bowser's home, whereas [[Bowser's Castle (disambiguation)]] also links to other uses of the name, such as the [[Bowser's Castle (board)|game board]] and [[Bowser Castle (baseball stadium)|baseball stadium]]. Game series articles always get a series identifier regardless of whether or not the title is shared, such as [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'' (series)]]. When disambiguation pages are used, the articles should only link to them in {{tem|about}} when necessary, but if a disambiguation page is not used, the articles can merely link to the other same-named page.
