Please see MoS:DP. Entries should have only one link, and they should not be ordered chronologically, they should be ordered by frequency of usage. Etymology and reference sections belong in articles, not on disambiguation pages, which exist for the sole purpose of helping readers to navigate to the desired article when multiple articles have ambiguous titles. -- Muchness 00:32, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
"Unlike a regular article page, don't wikilink any other words in the line, unless they may be essential to help the reader determine where they might find the information."
Which is why I only added notable links.
Most (but not all) of these are equally esoteric.
"For places or people, alphabetical or chronological order may make more sense — but only for articles that are equally common. Always place the most-common meaning(s) at the top."
I appreciate thhe response : )

Well, wow. You reverted the page in the same minute you posted this. Did you even give a thought to a reply from me? I'd like to AGF, but wow. - Jc37 00:41, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
I have put the most common usage -- the actual articles about wizards -- up front. Goldfritha 01:56, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
While normally a disambig page should concentrate on things with that name, it also has to take into account the meaning of that name. For instance, fate and destiny are basically synonyms, so the article is at destiny- but the very first link on fate's disambig page is to Destiny, despite it not being the same name.

The current opening line reads "A wizard is a person with magical powers, exceptional or extraordinary abilities, or a high standing within an organization." (emphasis mine). The last part sounds like a Ku Klux Klan reference. Are there more organizations which use this noun as a title, if not, remove it? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 145.97.222.66 ( talk) 17:51, 12 April 2007 (UTC).
Someone has just put in the "Literature" section, the enigmatic statement "Wizards can also be animals" (with no links). Odds are it's just someone mucking about, but I'm having a hard time figuring out what they might mean otherwise.
It's kinda hurting my brain. -- OccasionalTomble ( talk) 08:15, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
Entries that are on Wizard (comics) still need to appear here if they are ambiguous with Wizard. Entries that are not known as just "Wizard" do not need to be disambiguated, but can appear in the See also section if they aren't deleted. See WP:MOSDAB. -- JHunterJ ( talk) 23:14, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
There was a small MS-DOS game named "Wizzard" produced in the early 1980s which was enormously popular. Information about it is hard to come by. Danceswithzerglings ( talk) 21:10, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
Someone decided to try and redirect Archmage here. When I reverted it, he put a merge tag on. Does anyone think the merge is a good idea. Nezzadar [SPEAK] 16:33, 13 November 2009 (UTC)
The link created by the wiktionary template used on this page links to 'Wizard', a non exisiting page, on Wiktionary instead of 'wizard', although the template parameter given is 'wizard'. The reason I am stating this here is that I do not know where to find the templates and how to edit them. (I also tried to fix this by adding a redirect, but apparently they have a policy of no cross-case redirects, which I learned after I've been blocked, while writing the reason for that redirect onto the discussion page.)

I think these are both valid categories as the categories for witches already exist. User Ryulong is reverting all of my edits. CensoredScribe ( talk) 23:12, 2 February 2014 (UTC)

Wizard → Wizard (disambiguation) – Wizard should be redirected to Magician (fantasy) as a WP:PRIMARYREDIRECT. That is the obvious primary topic now that Wizard (paranormal) was merged, and all other uses are merely based on it. ZXCVBNM ( TALK) 14:33, 7 January 2018 (UTC)
There is a move discussion in progress on Talk:Magician (fantasy) which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. — RMCD bot 09:16, 6 February 2018 (UTC)
@ Wjemather: can you please point out the discussion about Wizard (supernatural) (note, this is a different article from Wizard (fantasy)) being primary or appearing at the top? -- Fyrael ( talk) 19:19, 5 May 2021 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: Not moved. There is consensus that Magic (supernatural) is not the primary topic for "wizard". ( non-admin closure) ( t · c) buidhe 00:48, 16 May 2021 (UTC)
Wizard → Wizard (disambiguation) – "Wizard" should redirect to Magic (supernatural)#Magicians as the WP:PRIMARYREDIRECT. Rreagan007 ( talk) 19:57, 8 May 2021 (UTC)
