Template:Disambiguation page short description/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Template:Terminate sentence
It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

This template is used on approximately 373,000 pages.
To avoid major disruption and server load, any changes should be tested in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. The tested changes can be added to this page in a single edit. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them.

This template adds an automatically generated short description. If the automatic short description is not optimal, override 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.
