This is the {{tl|Disambiguation}} template.<br />
<br />
'''<big>Important: Please do not [[Wikipedia:Substitution|subst:]] this template.</big>'''<br />
<br />
This is a general-purpose template, to be placed at the bottom of any article that exists to help readers find other articles with the same or similar names. This concept is called ''[[Wikipedia:Disambiguation|disambiguation]]'' and is used with many common words, such as ''[[Cross (disambiguation)|cross]]'', ''[[Life (disambiguation)|life]]'' and ''[[work]]''. This template automatically adds articles to the [[:Category:Disambiguation pages]]. <br />
<br />
=== Page title fix ===<br />
In the event that the page title is causing an error, such as <span class="plainlinks">[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=%2A%2A%2A&oldid=171348746 what happened]</span> at ''[[***]]'', add the parameter: '''<code>{{para|page-title |<var> page title</var>}}</code>''' . Thus, the [[***]] page would use the syntax: '''<code><nowiki>{{Disambiguation|page-title = ***}}</nowiki></code>''' .<br />
<br />
===Variant templates===<br />
====Disambiguation====<br />
{{Category see also|Disambiguation message boxes}}<br />

<br />
=== Parameters ===<br />
Sometimes there isn't a specific disambiguation template (see list above) that fits for a page, or the page has items in more than one of the above classes. Then use {{tl|Disambiguation}} but with one or more parameters telling which categories to use. Up to ten parameters can be fed, and in any order, for example:<br />
<br />
:{{tlc|Disambiguation|school|hospital}}<br />
<br />
Only add a parameter if the disambiguation page has several items of that type.<br />
<br />
* {{tlx|Disambiguation|human name}}: for [[:Category:Human name disambiguation pages]] (note that you must instead add the category separately if it needs a different [[WP:SORT|sort key]])<br />
* {{tlx|Disambiguation|given name}}: [[:Category:Given names]]<br />
* {{tlx|Disambiguation|surname}}: for [[:Category:Surnames]]<br />
* {{tlx|Disambiguation|airport}}: for [[:Category:Airport disambiguation]]<br />
* {{tlx|Disambiguation|callsign}}: for [[:Category:Broadcast call sign disambiguation pages]]<br />
* {{tlx|Disambiguation|chinese}}: for [[:Category:Disambiguation pages with Chinese character titles]]<br />
* {{tlx|Disambiguation|church}}: for [[:Category:Church building disambiguation pages]]<br />
* {{tlx|Disambiguation|fish}}: for [[:Category:Fish common names]]<br />
* {{tlx|Disambiguation|genus}}: for [[:Category:Genus disambiguation pages]]<br />
* {{tlx|Disambiguation|geo}}: for [[:Category:Place name disambiguation pages]]<br />
* {{tlx|Disambiguation|hospital}}: for [[:Category:Hospital disambiguation pages]]<br />
* {{tlx|Disambiguation|latin}}: for [[:Category:Latin name disambiguation pages]]<br />
* {{tlx|Disambiguation|letter number}}: for [[:Category:Letter-number combination disambiguation pages]]<br />
* {{tlx|Disambiguation|math}}: for [[:Category:Mathematical disambiguation]]<br />
* {{tlx|Disambiguation|molform}}: for [[:Category:Molecular formula disambiguation pages]] and [[:Category:Molecular formulas]]<br />
* {{tlx|Disambiguation|number}}: for [[:Category:Lists of ambiguous numbers]]<br />
* {{tlx|Disambiguation|plant}}: for [[:Category:Plant common names]]<br />
* {{tlx|Disambiguation|political}}: for [[:Category:Political party disambiguation pages]]<br />
* {{tlx|Disambiguation|road}}: for [[:Category:Lists of roads sharing the same title]]<br />
* {{tlx|Disambiguation|school}}: for [[:Category:Educational institution disambiguation]]<br />
* {{tlx|Disambiguation|split}}: for [[:Category:Disambiguation pages in need of being split]]<br />
<br />
Note that {{tl|Disambiguation}} might not have parameters for all subcategories of [[:Category:Disambiguation pages]], then you have to manually add the category to the disambig page.<br />
<br />
=== Redirects ===<br />
The following redirect to this template:<br />
<br />
* {{tl|Disambig}}<br />
* {{tl|Dab}}<br />
* {{tl|DAB}}<br />
* {{tl|Disamb}}<br />
<br />
=== Technical details ===<br />
Internally, this template uses {{tl|Dmbox}}. That template categorises pages into [[:Category:All disambiguation pages]] and [[:Category:All article disambiguation pages]].<br />
<br />
This template also uses {{tl|Disambiguation/cat}} to handle the categorisation parameters, such as "hospital" and "school".<br />
<br />
=== See also ===<br />
* [[Wikipedia:Hatnote]]<br />
* {{tl|Disambiguation needed}} – Adds an inline "disambiguation needed" tag to an ambiguous link within an article, see [[Wikipedia:OTHERUSES]] for more.<br />
