A '''disambiguation term''' or '''dab term''' is the bit of a page title which is in parentheses. In the page title [[Castrovalva (TV story)]], the dab term is (TV story). For the benefit of your fellow editors and readers, it's important that these terms be consistently applied. It also greatly helps in the writing of templates that have to handle story titles, as well as robotic maintenance of the wiki, if the same dab terms are used to describe the same types of things. | A '''disambiguation term''' or '''dab term''' is the bit of a page title which is in parentheses.
