Attention: Please do not Subst: this template.
Usage
The {{disambig}} template is placed at the bottom of articles which exist to help readers find other articles with similar names (or which perhaps should have the same name). This concept is called Disambiguation.
Disambiguation is used with common words such as cross, life, and work.
This is the most general-purpose disambiguation template; consider using a more-specific alternative if one exists, such as
- Template:Hndis, for people's names
- Template:geodis, for place names
- Template:TLAdisambig, for three-letter acronyms
For those who can't remember the name
For those who can't remember where the name is abbreviated: Template:Disambiguation, a "synonym".
