This tag is used on a link that needs to be improved because it goes to a disambiguation page. The tag is intended to be used only when an editor has tried to fix the link but has not succeeded. Most links to disambiguation pages do not need this tag. The tag links to an easy to use external tool with an edit notice.

The tag automatically places the article into Category:Articles with links needing disambiguation. Do not manually add articles to that category.

A date should be added, and will automatically place the article into a monthly subcategory of Category:Articles with links needing disambiguation. If a date is not added, a bot will do so later.

Usage

[[Article]]{{Disambiguation needed|date=November 2025}} renders:

Article[disambiguation needed]
