[edit] Notes

Do not use subst: with these templates, as that will prevent:

1. propagating changes as the template is modified; and
2. the What links here (WLH) listing.

DO NOT EDIT THESE TEMPLATES UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING

These templates may be used in thousands of articles, and changing the syntax could therefore break thousands of articles. If you wish to edit a disambiguation template first ask yourself:

1. Is there already another template that will do this job? We have lots of disambiguation templates already, see Category:Disambiguation and redirection templates.
2. Do I really need a template for this? Will it ever get used on any other articles, or should I just use {{dablink}} instead?
3. Do I know what will happen if I change the parameters around? Will it break existing uses of the template, and if so, can I fix them all?
