The title of each page should be clarified, often by adding an extra word to explain which subject the page is about. If a name is used for a mission and a character, use [[Big Smoke]] without an extra word for characters and [[Big Smoke (mission)]] for mission names.

If there is a different character/mission/vehicle with the same name in two different games/cities, specify the game/city name with its acronym, eg [[Downtown (Vice City)]]. However, if one of the versions is a lot more prominent than the other, you can leave one page at its name, and only specify the less-important page. For example [[Big Smoke]] is the character, and links to [[Big Smoke (mission)]], which is less prominent. Likewise that [[Vice City]] refers to the city in the GTA III era, more than the less-prominent GTA 1 rendition; and [[GTA]] refers to the series rather than [[GTA 1]].

If there are more than two pages with the same name (or similar), you should create a disambiguation page at that page name (eg [[City Hall]]), use the {{template|disambig}} tag, and link to each possible page. Each of those pages should be named as above. You can include other links to pages with similar names, eg at [[City Hall]].
