 | This is a documentation subpage for Template:Dablinks. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
Usage
- For pages that link to a large number of disambiguation pages (at least 7, the threshold as of September 2015), place
{{Dablinks|date=December 2024}}at the top of the main page to alert readers. - In some circumstances, it may be useful to add a new item to the talk page explaining the type and extent of cleanup required so that editors will know what to address and when to remove this tag.
Parameters
Dablinks has up to ten optional, unnamed parameters that may be used to indicate the links in the article which need attention. Example:
{{Dablinks|John Smith|John Brown|Mary Jones}}
This will provide a bulletized list of these links, along with brief instructions in the Dablinks output in a default-collapsed section. Click [show] to view the list. Output for this example:
 | This article currently links to a large number of disambiguation pages (or back to itself). |
The optional links are displayed when the template is expanded. You may enter more than ten if desired, but only the first ten will be displayed.
Notes
