{{Disambig}} is a general-purpose template, to be placed at the bottom of any article that exists to help readers find other articles with the same or similar names. This concept is called disambiguation and is used with many common words, such as cross, life and work. This template automatically adds articles to the Category:Disambiguation.
In the event that the page title is causing an error, such as what happened at ***, add the parameter: page-title=, followed by the page's title. Thus, the *** page would use the syntax: {{disambig|page-title=***}}.
