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, {{dablink}} is unquestionably the simplest as it's sole function is to apply a consistent formatting the the text included as a parameter. See Wikipedia:Otheruses templates (example usage) for a list of templates with more specialized uses.
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.
This is very useful for embedding effects within other templates, or on disambiguation lines heading an article.
