Description

Use this template at the top of an article when there are three or more uses for the term in question in order to link to the term's disambiguation page.

Usage

Parameters

This template accepts three parameters, all anonymous.

Optional

  1. The second term to be disambiguated. Takes precedence over term one when generating the link to the disambiguation page.
  2. Changes the format to the "about" version and should contain the description of what the article is about. Can also be specified as the named parameter "about"

Code

For basic use,

{{Disambig3|Cybertron}},

generates

If the root word of the disambiguation page is different from the word in the title of the current article (e.g., a different form of the same name like Bill/William), add a second argument to match the location of the disambiguation page. I.e,

{{Disambig3|Bill|William}}

on William Lennox gives:

To describe the current article as in {{disambig2}}, use the |about= variable like so:

{{Disambig3|Transformers|The Transformers|about=the first comic issue of the first comic series about Transformers}}

which gives:
