Template:Broad-concept article/doc

Usage

{{Dabprimary}}

This template is used on disambiguation pages that do not have "(disambiguation)" in their page titles and are terms that may be described by a broad-concept article that has yet to be written. When such an article is created, it will be about the primary topic.

When the new primary-topic article is created in another namespace, such as draftspace or userspace, and when it is ready for mainspace, then it should be moved to the title of the page that is tagged with this template. Before that action, if the page tagged with this template holds unrelated topics, then they must be moved to a page with "(disambiguation)" in its title. All topics that are related to the primary topic may be described or listed in the new article, and not listed on a disambiguation page.

If unrelated topics do exist and become part of a Title (disambiguation) page, then the primary topic would be linked at the top of that page.
