This template is probably not the desired template for most applications. The more standardized and general template about is more applicable and professional, and leaves less room for inconsistencies and mistakes.

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 div- / div 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.

It is also used as the "meta-template" for additional specialized disambiguation link templates; see Wikipedia:Otheruses templates (example usage) for a list.

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.
