Usage

Note: This template is still a work in progress. Do not add it to mainspace articles without carefully considering the consequences — ideally, discuss on the talk page beforehand and ensure others support its use.

Just add this to the top of an article:

{{Location disambiguation 2}}

For most articles, autodetection will do the rest. If it doesn't, see the examples below for workarounds.

Parameter list

All parameters are optional and shall only be used to override autodetection, if required.

• first unnamed parameter : The name of the location without any disambiguation suffix (e.g. Arborstone, not Arborstone (explorable area)). Usually taken from the article's name.

Article overrides (set to none to remove the article)

• mission = name of the article about the mission
• outpost = name of the article about the outpost
• explorable = name of the article about the explorable area
• explorablewik = name of the article about the explorable area during War in Kryta
• explorablewoc = name of the article about the explorable area during Winds of Change
• quest = name of the primary quest (mostly for Eye of the North primary quests vs. zaishen missions)
• zquest = name of the Zaishen Mission quest
• zvanquish = name of the Zaishen Vanquish quest
• landmark = name of the Landmark
• other = name of a freely configurable article
• otherdesc = description of the article given by other=. (if one of these two is given, the other is required as well)
• disambigtype = the type of an article that shall be disambiguated more verbosely, mostly used for nightfall. See examples.
• disambigarticle = first article fitting the parameter above
• disambigarticle2 = second article fitting the parameter above
