Pages for people should be named with the "use name" of the person. Use names generally consist of a given name followed by a family name, and frequently do not correspond with full, legal names. [[Manny Ramirez]] is a use name (and proper page name). ''Manuel Aristides Ramírez Onelcida'' is Manny's legal name, and differs in the inclusion of a middle name, matrilineal name, and the correct form of the letter 'í' in the patrilineal surname. | Pages for people should be named with the "use name" of the person.

- | When two players have the same use name, their page names must be disambiguated. If there is a clearly most significant player (frequently, one major leaguer in a field of minor leaguers), that player's page should use the use name, and all others should be extended, with a disambiguation page at ''Use Name (disambiguation)''. If no player stands out, all should be extended, and the use name should redirect to a dedicated disambiguation page. | + | When two players have the same use name, their page names must be disambiguated.

+ | Team-season pages are currently named with the year, location, and league. The location is the one used to describe the team, and not necessarily a precise, or even accurate, description of where the team plays. For example, [[2009 River City (Frontier)]] is the current name for the River City Rascals, who played in O'Fallon, Missouri. "River City" is an appellation used to signify the team's location in greater St. Louis, and does not correspond to any actual place name. | ||
