Template:Dablinks/sandbox
 | This article currently links to a large number of disambiguation pages (or back to itself). |
 | This is the template sandbox page for Template:Dablinks (diff). See also the companion subpage for test cases. |
Usage[edit]
- For pages that link to a large number of disambiguation pages (at least 7, the threshold as of September 2015), place
{{Dablinks|date=June 2024}}at the top of the main page to alert readers. - In some circumstances, it may be useful to add a new topic to the talk page explaining the type and extent of cleanup required so that editors will know what to address and when to remove this tag.
Parameters[edit]
Dablinks has up to ten optional, unnamed parameters that may be used to indicate the links in the article which need attention. Example:
{{Dablinks|John Smith|John Brown|Mary Jones}}
This will provide a bulletized list of these links, along with brief instructions in the Dablinks output in a default-collapsed section. Click [show] to view the list. Output for this example:
| This article currently links to a large number of disambiguation pages (or back to itself). |
The optional links are displayed when the template is expanded. You may enter more than ten if desired, but only the first ten will be displayed.
