The example above demonstrates that this template creates a note directing the reader to the [[WP:DISAMBIGUATION|disambiguation page]] related to the page it is included in, a page whose name is the name of the current page with "(disambiguation)" appended to it. When the disambiguation page is at a different title, that title can be supplied as an argument to the template. 

'''When to use''':  When a page has an [[WP:D|ambiguous title]], so that readers who searched for that title might have been looking for a different article, use this template to direct those readers to a [[WP:D|disambiguation page]] that may help them find their desired article.  As suggested [[WP:INTDABLINK|here]], and illustrated in the example above, please link to a redirect that includes the word "(disambiguation)" in the title, if one exists.

'''When not to use''':  Do not use this template on an article with an unambiguous title; for example, a reader who searches specifically for "Paris, Virginia" is not likely to have been looking for an article about a city in France (or anywhere else), so it would ''not'' be appropriate to add {{tlx|other uses|Paris}} to the top of the [[Paris, Virginia]] article.  Also, do not use this template to link to an article that is not a disambiguation page; instead, one of the other [[WP:HATNOTE|hatnote templates]] listed below may be more appropriate for that purpose.
