Disambiguation pages

What is the recommended practice in XWiki for making pages similar to MediaWiki disambiguations? I’ve not found any discussion on how to name or style these pages. Is there a different term in XWiki for ‘intermediate’ pages that contains links to multiple possible content pages associated with a title?

Are there any macros that add a disambiguation statement, similar to {{disambiguation}} in MediaWiki?

Thanks, Seb.

There’s nothing in the core of XWiki about this. There might be some extensions but I don’t know any from the top of my head.

However it’s very easy to implement a wiki macro inside a wiki page to do so:

  • in that macro display a list or live data of all pages named after a term that you pass as a macro parameter: `{{disambiguation term=“…”/}}
  • the macro does a simple query to find all pages named or having the title passed.
  • You may not even need a macro, just a normal page with a list of similar pages
  • Then you can even create a template provider so that users can create disambiguation pages easily.

Hope it helps
