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.)

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

{{disamb |y=1996 |Character A from Series B}} →
  • 1996 — Character A from Series B

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 }}

The 3 above formats are functionally equivalent. This allows for the easy 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
