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 fixes
[ᱯᱷᱮᱰᱟᱛ ᱥᱟᱯᱲᱟᱣ]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 |ignore_parentheses=yes. If you wish to manually specify the article type, use the |type= parameter.

Parameters
[ᱯᱷᱮᱰᱟᱛ ᱥᱟᱯᱲᱟᱣ]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 {{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 from this list if the disambiguation page has several items of that type:
{{Disambiguation|human name}}: for Category:Human name disambiguation pages (note that you must instead add the category separately if it needs a different sort key){{Disambiguation|bird}}: for Category:Bird common name disambiguation pages{{Disambiguation|church}}: for Category:Church building disambiguation pages{{Disambiguation|county}}: for Category:County name disambiguation pages{{Disambiguation|uscounty}}: for Category:United States county name disambiguation pages
{{Disambiguation|fish}}: for Category:Fish common name disambiguation pages{{Disambiguation|genus}}: for Category:Genus disambiguation pages{{Disambiguation|geo}}: for Category:Place name disambiguation pages{{Disambiguation|hospital}}: for Category:Hospital disambiguation pages{{Disambiguation|latin}}: for Category:Latin name disambiguation pages{{Disambiguation|letter number}}: for Category:Letter-number combination disambiguation pages{{Disambiguation|math}}: for Category:Mathematical disambiguation{{Disambiguation|number}}: for Category:Lists of ambiguous numbers{{Disambiguation|plant}}: for Category:Plant common name disambiguation pages{{Disambiguation|political}}: for Category:Political party disambiguation pages{{Disambiguation|road}}: for Category:Road disambiguation pages{{Disambiguation|school}}: for Category:Educational institution disambiguation pages{{Disambiguation|ship}}: for Category:Ship disambiguation pages{{Disambiguation|station}}: for Category:Station disambiguation pages{{Disambiguation|tndis}}: for Category:Title and name disambiguation pages{{Disambiguation|township}}: for Category:Township name disambiguation pages
These can be added if there are one or more elements in the list (per their category descriptions):
{{Disambiguation|airport}}: for Category:Airport disambiguation{{Disambiguation|callsign}}: for Category:Broadcast call sign disambiguation pages
These can be added even if there's only one element in the list, since these types are not actually ambiguous:
{{Disambiguation|given name}}: Category:Disambiguation pages with given-name-holder lists{{Disambiguation|surname}}: for Category:Disambiguation pages with surname-holder lists
This parameter reflects the title, not the contents:
And this parameter reflects a maintenance need, not the contents:
Note that {{Disambiguation}} might not have parameters for all subcategories of Category:Disambiguation pages, then you have to manually add the category to the disambig page.
Nocat
[ᱯᱷᱮᱰᱟᱛ ᱥᱟᱯᱲᱟᱣ]If categorization is not needed on pages that are not in mainspace, then the "nocat" parameter may be set equal to "true" or "yes" as follows:
{{Disambiguation|nocat=true}}{{Disambiguation|nocat=yes}}
