Yeah, there are a lot of these [[dab]]-removing templates around. | |||
*This one is for removing the dab ''within the text of the page itself''. For instance, if you are at [[Midnight (TV story)]], and you want to get rid of "(TV story)" just use {{tlx|StoryTitle}}. It's particularly useful in the {{{name}}} variable of the {{tlx|Infobox Story}} template. | |||
*If you want to make sure that the ''title'' of a page gets properly italicized — but the [[dab term]] doesn't — you want {{tlx|title dab away}}. | |||
*If you want the ability to remove the (TV story) bit of [[Midnight (TV story)]] on ''another'' page — say this one — then you'd use {{tlx|Da|Midnight (TV story)}} and get ''{{da|Midnight (TV story)}}''. Well, ''you'' wouldn't go to all that trouble — a [[pipe switch]] is much quicker — but another template would find {{tlx|da}} quite helpful. | |||

This template is easily adaptable to other disambiguators. If you'd like to see it expanded to other uses, please leave a message at [[:template talk:StoryTitle]], detailing your request, and ''then'' leave a message on either [[user talk:Tangerineduel]] or [[user talk:CzechOut]], reminding us to take a look at your note on [[:template talk:StoryTitle]]. (It's useful to keep the ''actual'', substantive requests in one place, as with [[template talk:Wales crew]], so that we can refer back to it the future.) | This template is easily adaptable to other disambiguators.
