Disambiguation templates
There are a number of templates available to make it easy to correctly format song, album and film titles on disambiguation pages.

According to the Manual of Style for disambiguation pages, piping should be used on disambiguation pages to quote or italicize titles while retaining the unformatted parenthetical suffix.

For example, a song titled "Dream On" by the band Aerosmith should appear in a list as follows:
 * "Dream On" (Aerosmith song)

Note that the song title, "Dream On", is in quotes, but the parenthetical suffix, (Aerosmith song) is not. This can be achieved with the following wikicode:

* "Dream On" (Aerosmith song)

Disambiguation templates provide an easier way to achieve this effect. For songs, you can use the   template:

* Dream On

This will generate the following:



This provides the same formatted output as the piped link, but without the need to type the artist name and song title twice.

A list of all disambiguation templates follows.

These template must always be substituted.

Note: these templates are intended for disambiguation pages. Within articles, the parenthetical suffix is generally dropped, so formatting part of the displayed link is usually unnecessary.
