:*'''[[:Category:Ambiguous page title|Pages with ambiguous page titles]]'''<br>&nbsp;  

:*'''Problem:''' Shows pages with titles that do not accurately describe their subject matter.<br>&nbsp;  

:*'''Why fix:''' The page titles come up as the main “focal” points of a search. If the page title doesn’t match the subject matter well, patrons will miss the articles that have the info they need in them.<br>&nbsp;  

:*'''Steps to resolve:'''  

::#Select a page out of the category Ambiguous page title.  

::#Check the discussion page to see what comments have been made about this topic.  

::#Read through the information on the page, evaluate the content, and decide on a new page title.  

::#Scroll down under Toolbar on the right and click What Links Here. This gives you a sense of how popular the page is. If this is a popular page, there will be many links to the page. If you can, after you change the page name, change the links to this page to go to the new page.  

::#Scroll down under the Views area on the right and click Move.  

::#Enter in a new page title in the To new title box. Enter the reason why the move is needed.  

::#Click Move Page.  

::#Check for double or broken redirects, if necessary.  

::#Add a note to the Discussion page about the changes.  

:*'''How to report:''' Add the template <nowiki>{{Title}}</nowiki> to the very top of the page
