Needs historical information
The HISTINFO template was deleted December 2017. In its place, use one of these:
- {{Recentism | section | date=date}}
- {{Expand section | 1=with more examples and source citations | with=more examples and source citations | for=reason | section=(number of the section after TOC, for editing link) | date=date | small=no | talksection=talksection}}
- {{Missing information | section | description | talksection=talksection | date=date}}
- Deprecated: {{Incomplete| section | reason=reason}}
Disambiguation
Naming: When there is no primary topic, a dab page should be called Topic, not Topic (disambiguation)
Linking: When deliberately linking to a dab page, always link to [[Topic (disambiguation]], whether or not the article actually includes (disambiguation) in its title.
This prevents the link from appearing as an error needing to be bot-fixed. It also lets attentive readers know that the link will take them to a disambiguation page. The policy is at
