[edit] TFD

This template survived a TFD nomination - see Wikipedia:Templates_for_deletion/Log/Not_deleted/May_2005#Template:This. Radiant_* 08:46, May 24, 2005 (UTC)

It passed 3:2 for, but Frazydeel's vote was conditional, and condition is not met. As to standardizing the approach to disambiguation, please do a thorough study of the Wikipedia:Disambiguation guideline and Wikipedia:Manual of Style (disambiguation pages) before building tools to help implement those guidelines. I'm not happy with the use of this template in its current form, but it could develop. I won't reopen the TFD, but please don't use this thing on pages I care about until it works right. --Yannick 18:35, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)
