This is the {{disambig}} template.
Disambiguation in a Wiki is the process of resolving conflicts in article titles that occur when a single term can be associated with more than one topic, making that term likely to be the natural title for more than one article. In other words, disambiguations are paths leading to different articles which could, in principle, have the same title.
This is a general-purpose template, to be placed at the bottom of any article that exists to help readers find other articles with the same or similar names. This concept is called disambiguation and is used with many common words, such as cross, life and work. This template automatically adds articles to the Category:Disambiguation pages.
Page title fix
In the event that the page title is causing an error, such as what happened at ***, add the parameter: <code>|page-title = page title</code> . Thus, the *** page would use the syntax: {{disambig |page-title = ***}} .
Technical details
Internally this template uses {{dmbox}}. That template categorises pages into Category:All disambiguation pages and Category:All article disambiguation pages.
This template uses {{disambig/cat}} to handle the categorisation parameters such as "hospital" and "school".
