Template:Disambiguation page short description
 | This template is used on many pages. To avoid large-scale disruption and unnecessary server load, any changes to this template should first be tested in its /sandbox or /testcases subpages or in your own user subpage. The tested changes can then be added to this page in one single edit. Please consider discussing any changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
 | This template adds an automatically generated short description. If the automatic short description is not optimal, replace it by adding {{Short description}} at the top of the article. |
This template sets the string Topics referred to by the same term (per discussion) as the short description for disambiguation pages via the individual disambiguation message box templates. The use of includeonly here and in the transclusions prevents the templates from receiving that short description.
