Template:Disambiguation needed/doc

There are no reviewed versions of this page, so it may not have been checked for adherence to standards.

This tag is used on a link that needs to be improved because it goes to a disambiguation page. The tag is intended to be used only when an editor has tried to fix the link but not succeeded. Most links to disambiguation pages do not need this tag. The tag links to an easy to use external tool with an edit notice.

The tag automatically places the article into Category:Articles with links needing disambiguation. Do not manually add articles to that category.

A date should be added, and will automatically place the article in a monthly subcategory of Category:Articles with links needing disambiguation. If a date is not added, a bot will do so later.

Usage edit

[[Article]]{{Disambiguation needed|date=April 2026}} renders:
