Template:Disambiguation needed

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

{{dn}}
{{dab needed}}

This tag is used on a link that needs to be improved because it goes to a disambiguation page. The tag is intended to be used only when an editor has tried to fix the link but has not succeeded. Most links to disambiguation pages do not need this tag. The tag links to an explanation of how to fix disambiguation links at Wikipedia:WikiProject Disambiguation/Fixing links.

The tag automatically places the article into Category:Articles with links needing disambiguation. Do not manually add articles to that category.

A date should be added, and will automatically place the article into a monthly subcategory of the above mentioned category. If a date is not added, a bot will do so later.

Usage[edit]

[[Article]]{{Disambiguation needed|date=May 2024}} renders:

Article^{[disambiguation needed]}
