==Usage==
Using {{tlx|dablink|''text''}} formats text into the standard stylistic for a [[Wikipedia:Hatnote|Wikipedia hatnote]]. That produces a short note placed at the top of an article to provide disambiguation of closely related terms or summarise a topic, explaining its boundaries.
===Other disambiguation templates===
This template may ''not'' be the desired template for your applications. See [[Template:Otheruses templates]] for a comparison and index of the alternatives.
==Usage and purpose==
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 is also used as the "meta-template" for additional specialized disambiguation link templates; see [[Wikipedia:Otheruses templates (example usage)]] for a list.
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, using normal [[Wikipedia:Cheatsheet|Wikipedia markup]].
==Template contents==
<code><nowiki><div class="dablink"></div></nowiki></code>
