Usage
To disambiguate between Category:Eremophila (bird) and Category:Eremophila (plant), simply add the following to Category:Eremophila:
{{Category disambiguation|the bird genus|Eremophila (bird)|the plant genus|Eremophila (plant)}}
The template expects at least four parameters (two description/category pairs), but can accommodate up to 100 parameters (50 description/category pairs).
Note that since a tweak in July 2020, this template trims leading and trailing whitespace from its parameters. This allows the use of a more readable multi-line layout. The example above can now be written as:
{{Category disambiguation
| the bird genus | Eremophila (bird)
| the plant genus | Eremophila (plant)
}}
... or, if you prefer
{{Category disambiguation
| the bird genus
| Eremophila (bird)
| the plant genus
| Eremophila (plant)
}}
Categorisation
This template automatically categorises category namespace pages into Category:Disambiguation categories. If the category isn't empty, it also categorizes it into Category:Non-empty disambiguation categories.
