Umbrella articles bring together concepts that, in the context of Nizhny Novgorod and the surrounding region, carry several distinct meanings: a single word or name can denote a street, a district, a town, a river, an organization, or a historical phenomenon all at once. Such articles serve as Encyclopedia of Nizhny Novgorod) — they list every meaning of the term and direct the reader to the topic they need. Notable examples include Strelka), Sormovo (disambiguation), Rozhdestvenskaya, and Volga (disambiguation), each of which covers several separate entities.
Editorial rule for the category: red links to articles not yet written are not linked to the umbrella page automatically — the corresponding meaning must first be explicitly added to the umbrella article's text, and only then is a separate article created.
