Template:Dab

Documentation: Dab

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.

{{Dab| <about> | <for> | <title> | <for2> | <title2> | <for3> | <title3> }}

<about> - What the current article is about, e.g. the current B4192 between Swindon and Aldbourne
<for> - What the alternative article is about, e.g. the defunct route between Droitwich and Kidderminster
<title> - The name of the alternative page, no wikilinks, e.g. B4192 (Droitwich - Kidderminster)
<for2> / <for3> - (optional) What the second/third alternative article is about, e.g. the defunct route between Droitwich and Kidderminster
<title2> / <title3> - (optional) The name of the second/third alternative page, no wikilinks, e.g. B4192 (Droitwich - Kidderminster)
