फलकम्:Dabnav This is the {{Disambiguation}} 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: {{Disambiguation|page-title = ***}} .

Then use {{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:

{{Disambiguation|school|hospital}}

Only add a parameter if the disambiguation page has several items of that type.

{{Disambiguation|given name}}: Category:Disambiguation pages with given-name-holder lists

{{Disambiguation|airport}}: for Category:Airport disambiguation
