Disambiguation

This template can be used to automatically form a disambiguation page based on several parameters described bellow. Template is especially useful for characters with hundreds of alternate reality versions.

Template is using DPL to get a list of all existing pages with specific names. The list then processed by Module:Disambiguation to form the disambiguation gallery. Additional characters that don't yet have pages (and thus cannot be fetched by DPL query) could be added to the list with parameters include1-include81.

Theoretically template can form a disambiguation for up to 800 characters.

}}

type

Type of the pages - character or team. DEFAULT: character. For example, for disambiguation of Spider-Man this parameter can be ommited, for X-Men or Avengers disambiguation type=team should be added.

main

Pagename of the main character. For example, "Peter Parker (Earth-616)" for Spider-Man disambiguation. It is used to exclude main character from the list of alternate reality versions and place him at the top of the page.

main_image

Image used for main character.

logo

logo at the very top of the page.

invert_logo

if value = yes, then on dark theme colors of logo would be inverted. Useful for mainly black logos that are not very visible on dark theme.

main_article1, main_article2, etc.

used to display one (or several) subject that are mainly associated with disambigution's name.

description, description2, etc.

Short description of disambiguation's main subject(s).

main_name

Main version of name of all alternate reality versions. For example, "Peter Parker" for Spider-Man disambiguation.

main_title

Main version of title of all alternate reality versions. For example, "Spider-Man" for Spider-Man disambiguation

alternative1-alternative200

Alternative versions of name. For example, "Pavitr Prabhakar" for Spider-Man disambiguation.

include1-include200

Characters who also should be included into disambiguation. Useful for adding characters that not yet have pages. Characters could be included in the same format like in any normal disambiguation:

|include1     = Peter Parker (Earth-1)
|include3     = Peter Parker (Earth-2); Peter Parker (Earth-2).jpg
|include2     = [[Peter Parker (Earth-3)|Spider]]
|include2     = [[Peter Parker (Earth-4)|Spider-Boy]]; Spider-Boy.jpg

exclude1-exclude200

Characters who should be excluded from the list. For example:

|exclude1     = Peter Parker (Tony Richards) (Earth-616)

includeComic, includeLiveAction, includeAnimated, includeGame, includeOther (1-200 in each)

In combination with "exclude" these parameters could be used to bypass auto-sorting of page and to manually add it into desired section ('Comic Variants', 'Live-Action Variants', 'Animated Variants', 'Game Variants', 'Other Media Variants' correspondingly). Useful, for example, for characters from Earth-199999 some of whom appeared in live-action movies or TV series, while others appeared in animated series. For example, Uatu (Earth-199999) is a character from animated series, but it is auto-sorted into "Live-Action" section. To prevent it use similar code:

|exclude1         = Uatu (Earth-199999)
|includeAnimated1 = Uatu (Earth-199999); What If...? (animated series) poster 002.jpg

This way is would be added into "Animated Variants" section instead of "Live-Action Variants"

teams

others

related

group1 - group9

Additional section(s) with customizable header(s) group1_header - group9_header parameters.

media

Adds "Media" section to display links to comics, movies, games, etc. For example, for Spider-Man page it could be used to add links to Spider-Man Comic Books, Spider-Man (film), etc.

noimage

Changes default File:No Image Available.png to any other image that would be used for pages with no image. For example:

|noimage  = No Image Male.jpg
