== Usage of the template ==

What is the point of <nowiki>{{dablink|...}} when it is replacing something far simpler (:''...'')</nowiki>. Please don't add unnecessarily complicated formatting for no reason, particularly not at the very start of articles where it is going to confuse people.

:I understand the reasoning behind this template, but only after figuring it out for myself (in case the accepted formatting of disambig links changes, the template can be changed). This is a good idea, but it should be mentioned on [[Wikipedia:Disambiguation]] before people start hopping in and changing articles. dablink is also not the best name for this template.

:View the source, there is more to the change than just italics. [[User:Anthony DiPierro|anthony]] [[User:Anthony_DiPierro/warning|(see warning)]] 14:22, 7 Sep 2004 (UTC)
::It's a div with a class (presumably to be hidden in the print CSS), indent, and italics. I agree that it's a good idea but it should be explained and debated before it goes into general use. [[User:Rhobite|Rhobite]] 23:25, Sep 7, 2004 (UTC)

:::I don't see why anyone would need to remove it from a printed version since it is useful information directly relevant to the text. I see no reason to add additional confusing templates. This increases the barrier to editing for no benefit. [[User:Angela|Angela]][[user talk:Angela|.]] 00:05, Sep 12, 2004 (UTC)

::::Look at the top of [[Wikipedia:Copyright problems]] (noting of course that this is in the Wikipedia namespace). Would you want that in a printed copy? [[User:Brianjd|Brianjd]] 10:18, 2004 Dec 24 (UTC)

I'm still cloudy on the advantage of this template over such things as {{tl|otheruses}}, which has an essentially opposite directional orientation with respect to the linking concept explained.  My interest comes as a member of [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Disambiguation]]. [[User:Ceyockey|Courtland]] 15:32, July 23, 2005 (UTC)

== X Redirects here ==

Would it be possible to have an optional parameter for the "redirects here" usage, to add invisible information to the html expansion so that user javascript (and perhaps ultimately standard javascript controlled by a user preference) can hide the text if the page was not reached via the redirect in question? —[[User:Random832|Random832]]<small>2007-01-28 06:23 [[User talk:Random832|UT]][[Special:Contributions/Random832|C]] (01/28 01:23 EST)</small>
