Okay copied from the Dalit Buddhism page where I was working on:

" If someone above my (relatively rookie) Wiki skills would be so kind to start with, or help in, making headwords for the at least three 'Karuna Trusts'I found (one in UK linked with TBMSG, one in Kerala doing local medical work and the third in Sri Lanka) and then a disambiguation page on top of it? Headwords/topics themselves would remain quite basic, but it would help Wikipedia to show the audience at least that there is confusion possible..."

Tnx,

PS I'm out on holiday for a week starting tomorrow so might not be very quick in following-up

Mmmh, what's your question?

Oh and it is normally prohibited to copy 'n paste materials from other sites by law (licenses problem). mabdul 16:07, 1 July 2011 (UTC)

{{helpme}} The question is, to rephrase, how to make a disambiguation page and then three new headword pages also. The headword pages all would have the phase 'Karuna Trust' in it but then e.g. 'Karuna Trust (UK based charity)', 'Karuna Trust (India based charity)', and 'Karuna Trust (Srilankan volunteer movement)'. Leave it to me to fill the sub pages themselves, but the model with creating new topics and then a 4th disambiguation topic which is the first to pop up when someone searches for 'Karuna Trust' is a bridge too far for doing it myself without creating too much technical harm. BTW, I copypasted from the discussion page for another Wikipedia headword where this issue remained unanswered already for a few days...

Tnx,

If none of the pages would be the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC then the DAB page will be called Karuna Trust and would be like...

{{refer}}

* [[Karuna Trust (UK based charity)]] -
* [[Karuna Trust (India based charity)]] -
* [[Karuna Trust (Srilankan volunteer movement)]] -

Following the "-" you do a very brief explanation - see WP:DAB.

If one of the pages was vastly more important then that would take the title Karuna Trust, and the DAB page would be at Karuna Trust (disambiguation), and you add a 'hatnote' to the very top of that main page thus

{{About|the use of this page}}

at the top of the article - to show a DAB page for other articles - see Template:About. DAB pages should have one blue link per line, so make the articles first.  Ronhjones  ^(Talk) 18:54, 1 July 2011 (UTC)

Sounds great, hope it suffices and otherwise now probably I'll understand the help texts a lot more. Will try after h'day!
