Okay, we're getting closer to being on the same page. Yea DisAmbiguation Page = DAP.

Asterix prints the pip at the front of the lines of pipped-lists. Which is required by DAP standards.

By formatting, I mean Italics and Bold and such. Items on DAPS should either be all-plain, or all-bold and or Italicized but not mixed. The links want to auto-complete in text as well as Searches so long as the page is on the local wikia, adding in formatting code only increases the likelihood of links not ending up where they should and coming up red. Like in Agron. So…
 * Agron (Final Fantasy Legend III); No good
 * Agron (Final Fantasy Legend III) ; with "nowiki" to show original coding; link should go to the page as Titled and let it provide the franchise details


 * Agron (Marvel); Not really proper since the pipe is not needed
 * Agron (Marvel)


 * Agron; No good, should not pipetrick to suppress the parenthetical, which may confuse users. And in this case appears to point back to the very page it is on…
 * Agron (SaGa)

Formatting tricks on other pages is one thing, but keep in mind that users visiting a wikia may often not be fully familiar with what they are trying to look up. Which is why links in DAPs should be as straightforward as possible.
 * Agron (Marvel); Good

Info on DAPS should be minimal as well. Both the initial paragraph and individual items. Just enough to help users decide which they want. Richer details should be on the pages they are sent to.

Thanks to Search and Autocompletes, I can check for existing pages to include or not, from newer articles not already on the DAPs. Like Agron (SaGa).
