{{Shortcut|Template:Dab|Template:Disambig}}
This is the {{tl|Disambiguation}} template.
'''<big>Important: Please do not [[Wikipedia:Substitution|subst:]] this template.</big>'''
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]].
== Page title fixes ==
This template will automatically detect incomplete disambiguation present in page titles. If the title includes anything other than (disambiguation) in parentheses, it is assumed to be the article type. For example, this template on the page [[1st Division (France)]] would produce the text "This disambiguation page lists France articles associated with the title '''1st Division'''". If the page title contains parentheses that are not used for disambiguation (such as [[Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex* (*But Were Afraid to Ask)]]), set {{para|ignore_parentheses|yes}}. If you wish to manually specify the article type, use the {{para|type}} parameter.
===Disambiguation===
{{Category see also|Disambiguation message boxes}}
For disambiguation pages requiring cleanup, use {{tl|Disambiguation cleanup}}.
'''Note:''' A set index article (SIA) is ''not'' a disambiguation page; it is a list article about a set of items ''of a specific type'' that ''also'' share the same (or similar) name. [[Wikipedia:Set index articles]] includes templates for SIAs.
=== Nocat ===
If categorization is not needed on pages that are not in [[WP:MAINSPACE|mainspace]], then the "nocat" parameter may be set equal to "true" or "yes" as follows:
* {{tlx|Disambiguation|nocat{{=}}true}}
* {{tlx|Disambiguation|nocat{{=}}yes}}
== Redirects ==
The following redirect to this template:
* {{tl|Disambig}}
* {{tl|Dab}}
* {{tl|Disamb}}
== Technical details ==
Internally, this template uses {{tl|Dmbox}}. That template categorises pages into [[:Category:All disambiguation pages]] and [[:Category:All article disambiguation pages]].
This template also uses {{tl|Disambiguation/cat}} to handle the categorisation parameters, such as "hospital" and "school".
Other templates and modules used:
* {{tl|Disambiguation page short description}}
* {{tl|Template other}}
* {{tl|Title disambig text}}
* {{tl|Title without disambig}}
* {{tl|Trim}}
* {{tl|Str rep}}
* {{m2|Redirect|isRedirect}}
== Template use ==
Place template at the foot of the disambiguation page after all of the disambiguation content but before any categories (see below).
