==Usage and purpose==
This template is used to add disambiguation links (''dab'' is Wikipedia shorthand for "disambiguation") to the top of article pages. While there are many other disambiguation-related templates, {{tl|dablink}} is unquestionably the simplest as its sole function is to apply a consistent formatting to the text included as a parameter. See [[Wikipedia:Otheruses templates (example usage)]] for a list of templates with more specialized uses.
This template is primarily used to add disambiguation links (''dab'' is Wikipedia shorthand for "disambiguation") to the top of article pages. It places an HTML <code>div-</code> / <code>div</code> 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 places an HTML div-/div block around the material given as its only argument, which forces browsers to correctly interpret the contained code. Contrary to what its name implies, it does not automatically create a link of any kind so any links must be added manually.
It is also used as the "meta-template" for additional specialized disambiguation link templates; see [[Wikipedia:Otheruses templates (example usage)]] for a list.


This is very useful for embedding effects within other templates, or on disambiguation lines heading an article.
Note that contrary to what could be inferred from its name, this template does not automatically create links of any kind; links and any other additional formatting must be explicitly added.
