Forum:Help inputing Template:Disambig on our Wiki

Hey, I'm one of the administrators of our Wiki, The Monster Hunter Wiki. Unlike other wikis, we don't have a Disambiguation Template yet, so I decided to make one for our wiki, as I feel we're going to need it sooner.

My problem is, that it isn't working, this page wasn't listed here after a day of testing. I'd like some help creating things properly, and I'm also wondering if I did something wrong too on this page.

Thank you, and please replay ASAP. ouo Maku! ouo Click smiley to reply 11:34, April 5, 2010 (UTC)


 * On that MediaWiki page, you're transcluding the template, instead simply type out the name "template:disambig" and it should work. Joey (talk) 22:21, April 5, 2010 (UTC)

 * Agree with Tulip Vorlax - site has a lot of protected pages which does not help editors, but the template:Disambig page is not protected so I've added the missing  Category code to add pages with the template on into the Category:Disambiguation pages. Theres enough admins to keep an eye on pages & wikia policy is against protecting pages unless vandalism is a problem.(I would protect core templates once functioning if used on many pages, but i've not found many vandals who bother with templates, and it would be pretty obvious in most cases, easily rectified)
 * Tried to add a Doc page to the template page, but the Documentation suite is incomplete and a very old version with lots of bits in that needs updation (would suggest replacing with Wikia 'lite' version - less complex than Media wiki / WP's version) - so just added a basic usage note. With a proper Doc page the Cats then go in the doc page with interwiki links (if relevant).
