Template Documentation [edit source| uses| help]

Sometimes a single word or phrase can be used to refer to many different things. In these cases we might need to differentiate between different terms using this template.

⤧︎

Disambiguation: Not to be confused with Template:Notice.

Usage

It is simply sufficient to include this template, along with the name of the page that sounds similar. The notice above can be crafted by:

{{Disambiguation|Template:Notice}}

If the disambiguation is particularly complex, you might need to override the message altogether:

{{Disambiguation|message=This refers to the disambiguation template. For a notice see [[Template:Notice]], and for a note see [[Template:Note]]}}

⤧︎

Disambiguation: This refers to the disambiguation template. For a notice see Template:Notice, and for a note see Template:Note
