re: your addition to the Meshwork music album talk page.
My unsolicited contrib
[edit]At User:Marilyn Hamilton/Meshwork (disambiguation) i converted your markup
- [[Category:Disambiguation]]
to
- {{Disambig}}
in part bcz Category:Disambiguation is not for pages that disambiguate (such as the one you contemplate in your draft at that location), but for pages that facilitate the writing and maintenance of such pages. The template {{Disambig}}, in addition to providing a valuable standard message, places the "Dab" page into Category:Disambiguation pages, which is the appropriate one for a page such as you contemplate.
Many users also suppress the actual placement into a Category by any of various methods, as long as the markup has not yet gone onto a page in the Main namespace, so that the draft does not show up in the corresponding Cat before the page actually becomes operational, but that aspect of your draft is of less concern (to me, at least) than populating the wrong Cat: thus i am addressing you only about the use of a Cat suitable only to a couple dozen pages, rather than also about your probably premature addition of your draft to a Cat where it will be little noted among the hundreds of thousands of
Dab pages.
Thanks for contributing to WP!

Hello Marilyn Hamilton. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.
All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about following the reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.
If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:
- Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
- Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
- Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
- Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.
Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.
