 | This is a documentation subpage for Template:Disambiguation/cat. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
 | This template is used on 170,000+ pages. To avoid large-scale disruption and unnecessary server load, any changes to it should first be tested in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. The tested changes can then be added to this page in a single edit. Please consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
This is the {{Disambiguation/cat}} sub-template.
Do not use this template directly, use {{Disambiguation}} or {{Disambiguation cleanup}} instead.
This template is called from {{Disambiguation}} and {{Disambiguation cleanup}}. It handles some of the categorization logic for those templates.
For more documentation see {{Disambiguation}} and {{Disambiguation cleanup}}.
{{Dabcat}} redirects here, and is used by {{Disambiguation cleanup}}.
Parameters
This template takes one parameter and produces a category assignment dependent on that parameter.
The main parameter value for some of the categories in this template are as follows (some other variants will also work):
- airport: for Category:Airport disambiguation
- bird: for Category:Bird common name disambiguation pages
- callsign: for Category:Broadcast call sign disambiguation pages
- caselaw: for Category:Case law disambiguation pages
- chinese: for Category:Disambiguation pages with Chinese character titles
- church: for Category:Church building disambiguation pages
- fish: for Category:Fish common name disambiguation pages
- genus: for Category:Genus disambiguation pages
- geo: for Category:Place name disambiguation pages
- given name: Category:Disambiguation pages with given-name-holder lists
- hn: for Category:Human name disambiguation pages
- hospital: for Category:Hospital disambiguation pages
- latin: for Category:Latin name disambiguation pages
- letter number: for Category:Letter-number combination disambiguation pages
- math: for Category:Mathematics disambiguation pages
- number: for Category:Lists of ambiguous numbers
- plant: for Category:Plant common name disambiguation pages
- political: for Category:Political party disambiguation pages
- road: for Category:Road disambiguation pages
- school: for Category:Educational institution disambiguation pages
- ship: for Category:Ship disambiguation pages
- station: for Category:Station disambiguation pages
- surname: for Category:Disambiguation pages with surname-holder lists
- cleanup: for Category:Disambiguation pages in need of cleanup
- split: for Category:Disambiguation pages in need of being split
This list is usually not complete, since we add new categories to this template every now and then.
Error reporting
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.
