Template:Disamb is a simple template designed to aid in the layout of disambiguation pages.

{{disamb}} creates a listing preceded by the year this character first appeared (making extremely long disambig pages such as Prowl (disambiguation)) easier to navigate.

Example:

{{disamb
|y=1984
|Prowl the Autobot police car (and later Maximal lion) from Generation 1
}}


The year can be set using either through the named term "y=", or by making the year the second term.

{{disamb |y=YEAR |Character Description }}
{{disamb |Character Description |YEAR }}
{{disamb |Character Description |y=YEAR }}

All 3 formats are functional equivalent. This allows for the quick conversion of un-templated disambig pages (without tracking down years) while also permitting the use of a 'logical' layout with the year in front. (Mimicking layout order.)

If no year is provided, the template displays ???? in place of a year. {{disamb |Character Description }}

  • ???? — Character Description
