Template:Disambiguation/cat/doc: Difference between revisions

 

This is the {{tl|Disambiguation/cat}} sub-template.

{{tl|Dabcat}} redirects here, and is used by {{tl|Disambiguation cleanup}}.

 

This template takes one parameter and produces a category assignment dependent on that parameter.

 

 

*airport: for [[:Category:Airport disambiguation]]

*callsign: for [[:Category:Broadcast call sign disambiguation pages]]

*chinese: for [[:Category:Disambiguation pages with Chinese character titles]]

*church: for [[:Category:Church building disambiguation pages]]

*genus: for [[:Category:Genus disambiguation pages]]

*geo: for [[:Category:Place name disambiguation pages]]

*latin: for [[:Category:Latin name disambiguation pages]]

*letter number: for [[:Category:Letter-number combination disambiguation pages]]

*number: for [[:Category:Lists of ambiguous numbers]]

*political: for [[:Category:Political party disambiguation pages]]

*road: for [[:Category:Road disambiguation pages]]

*school: for [[:Category:Educational institution disambiguation pages]]

*surname: for [[:Category:Disambiguation pages with surname-holder lists]]

 

This list is usually not complete, since we add new categories to this template every now and then.

 

If an invalid parameter is fed to this template it displays an error message and categorizes the page into [[:Category:Wikipedia disambig or set index box parameter needs fixing]]. Thus editors can see when they use an invalid parameter, and if they don't notice it we can easily find and fix such cases by taking a look in that category.
