This module detects if a given page is a disambiguation page.
{{#invoke:Disambiguation|isDisambiguationPage|Page title}}yes if the page is a disambiguation page, or nothing if the page is not a disambiguation pageExamples:
{{#invoke:Disambiguation|isDisambiguationPage|Paris}} →{{#invoke:Disambiguation|isDisambiguationPage|New}} → yes{{#invoke:Disambiguation|isDisambiguationPage|Black swan (disambiguation)}} → yesYou can also use magic words like{{SUBJECTPAGENAME}}:
{{#invoke:Disambiguation|isDisambiguationPage|{{SUBJECTPAGENAME}}}} → yesImport this module, e.g with
localmDisambiguation=require('Module:Disambiguation')
Then you can use the functionsisDisambiguation and_isDisambiguationPage.

localisDab=mDisambiguation.isDisambiguation(content)-- returns true or false
