Disambiguation is used with common words such as [[Cross (disambiguation)|cross]], [[Life (disambiguation)|life]], and [[work]].
This is the most general-purpose disambiguation template; consider using a more-specific alternative if one exists, such as
*[[:Template:Hndis]], for people's names
*[[:Template:geodis]], for place names
*[[:Template:TLAdisambig]], for [[three-letter acronym]]s
