Preview
A unit that is disabled is affected by a 
status effect that prevents certain actions – such as movement, attacking, casting and/or seeing–blocked, reduced or controlled.
Most crowd control effects are applied by attacks or abilities that can be blocked with 
spell shields.
- Crowd control applied by one's self or an ally cannot be countered in any way, neither reduced, resisted, nor removed unless special cased to do so.
- Self-slows will be affected by
slow resist.

All tip data templates use the same parameter.
Retrieval of data items
{{data Crowd control|pst2|interrupts}}, using parameter selection template Template:Pst2, gives the parameter interrupts, etc.
For retrieval of more data items it is more efficient to prepare a template for that, to be used as follows:
{{data Crowd control|template name|..|..|..|..}}
so that this data template needs to be called only once.[1] The default template is Template:Tip data, producing this page.
The four parameters are optional, they are passed on to the prepared template as parameters 2-5.
A parameter being undefined or empty typically means the same, see below. {{data ..|pst2|..}} gives the empty string and the text "{{{..}}}", respectively. Therefore, an application checking the parameter has to check both. Checking whether a result is equal to e.g. the text "{{{popinc}}}" cannot be done directly with #ifeq in a template which itself has also a parameter with that name, because if that is defined, there would be a comparison with the value instead of the text itself. Instead, it can be checked whether the first character of the result is "{", e.g.: {{#ifeq:{{padleft:|1|{{data {{{continent}}}|pst2|popinc}}}}|{|..|..}}.
Until here the documentation is automatically generated by Template:Tip data.
