This is the {{disambig}} template.
Important: Please do not SUBST: this template.
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 disambiguation and is used with many common words, such as cross, life and work. This template automatically adds articles to the Category:Disambiguation pages.
Page title fix
In the event that the page title is causing an error, such as what happened at ***, add the parameter: |page-title = page title . Thus, the *** page would use the syntax: {{disambig |page-title = ***}} .
Alternative names
For those who can't remember how this template's name is abbreviated, the {{disambiguation}}, {{disamb}} and {{dab}} templates all redirect to {{disambig}}.
Technical details
Internally this template uses {{dmbox}}. That template categorises pages into Category:All disambiguation pages and Category:All article disambiguation pages.
