Template:Dablink/doc
 | This is a documentation subpage for Template:Dablink. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
{{dablink|text}} formats text into the standard style for a Porn Base Central hatnote, a short note placed at the top of an article to provide disambiguation of closely related terms or summarise a topic, explaining its boundaries.
Usage and purpose[edit source]
This template is primarily used to add disambiguation links (dab is Porn Base Central shorthand for "disambiguation") to the top of article pages. It places an HTML div- / div block around the material given as its only argument, which provides standardized formatting (contents are indented and italicized in most displays); it also isolates the contained code to make sure that it is interpreted correctly.
This template is also used as the "meta-template" for additional specialized disambiguation link templates; see {{otheruses4}}.
Contrary to what its name may imply, the template does not automatically create links of any kind. Links and other desired formatting must be explicitly added.
