| + | The Dab template should be added to the top of articles where a disambiguated page of the same title exists. For example, where there are multiple roads that share the same number (including historic routes), junctions with the same name, or where Traditional Counties, towns or Highway Authorities share the same name. | ||
| + | |||
| + | It may be used to offer direct links to one or two other pages. If there are more than two other pages with similar names, then the template should be used to send people to the disambiguation page. | ||
| + | |||
| + | To use this template, copy the code below, replacing anything within <tags> as appropriate. | ||
| + | <div style="border: 1px dashed black; background-color:white; margin:2px;padding:4px;font-family:Courier,system;"> | ||
