Template:About year

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

Usage

The purpose of this template is to put disambiguation links at the top of year articles, such as 2024. It explains that the article is about the year and links to the number and a disambiguation page, if they exist. It also, currently, has space for up to three other disambiguations, such as car models, aircraft, etc.

Syntax

lemba

Its first parameter is always the year in question, so if it is used on the year article 2024, you write

{{About year|2024}} →

It can then disambiguate to up to three other articles, such as, for instance, the car model Volvo 740:

{{About year|740|the car|Volvo 740}} →

This article is about the year 740. For the car, see Volvo 740.
