Use the {{ hurricane disambig}} template to include an article in this page. Note that these pages are a little more complete than most disambiguation pages since they also function as a list of storms that used a particular name. Each disambiguation article should follow a consistent format; see Wikipedia:WikiProject Tropical Cyclones.
Maybe this isn't the best name for the category. But the top-level category is just Disambiguation, and we're talking about tropical cyclones, so I named it this. To rename it all we'd have to do is edit the template and copy over the category article. Jdorje 02:57, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
Deletion
- I guess I missed the whole deletion debate. Note that Category:Lists of ambiguous human names is not appropriate, as some of the names (like Fox, Alpha, Item) are not taken from human names at all. — jdorje ( talk) 19:02, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
- Sorry, that was my idea, trying to accomodate folks that want to minimize the number of subcategories. I withdrew the suggestion. Now that the category name is confirmed, should we run through and replace all the templates with the {{
disambig}} followed by this category? Also, shouldn't the names be sorted, rather than everything under H and T?

- Thought I'd drop by and mention a discussion we had about naming these categories. Category:Disambiguation (tropical cyclones) might be a good name.-- Commander Keane 08:10, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
- I object, doesn't meet requirements of naming conventions for categories. Moreover, we just had the debate, it was extended for lack of participation, and it still was a keep. Maybe next year, after any dust settles from the current flurry of nominations (that also came from the rampant disambiguators).

- I am a little confused about the naming conventions, so I asked about it here. I am not disputing that the decision is keep, I'm not sure why that was mentioned.-- Commander Keane 22:53, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
Currently the category description here says:
- Please note: {{ hurricane disambig}} is deprecated and should not be used.
I see no reason why that disambig box should be deprecated. I find that disambig box nice since it has extra explanation about what kind of disambig page it is, just like the other specialised disambig boxes like {{ airport disambig}} and {{ roaddis}}. And it means it is easier to change/update the category name if it is added by a template. So, I want to remove the statement that it is deprecated.
I have brought this up for discussion over at Template talk:Hurricane disambig#Reasons for removal of this template. Please discuss there.
Also, we are thinking of adding a "cyclone/hurricane/typhoon" parameter to {{
disambig}}, so that we can use for instance {{disambig|cyclone|airport|road}} when a disambig page lists several other things under the same name. The parameter "cyclone" will make {{disambig}} categorise the page into
Category:Tropical cyclone disambiguation. See discussion at
Template talk:Disambig#Yet another branch.
