Template:Disambig3/doc

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.

Note - If two uses are more closely associated or far more prominent than the others, consider using {{Disambig3.5}} instead.

Usage

Parameters

This template accepts three parameters, all anonymous.

3. 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:

which gives:
