This is template documentation box for all of the Otheruses templates.

Such templates are not necessarily intended to be viewed directly. If they use variables, some links may appear broken. Do not replace these variables with hardcoded page names or URLs.


To discuss these templates as a whole, please see Wikipedia talk:Disambiguation If you wish to discuss general wordings, rather than the wording or formatting of this specific template, don't post here, or else what you say will probably go unnoticed.

For a summary page on how to use these templates, see Wikipedia:Otheruses templates (example usage).

For example, {{dablink|For other senses of this term, see [[etc...]]}}. This template is adaptable, but fails to standardize hatnotes.

Note: All of these templates except {{Two other uses}} are special cases of {{Otheruses4}}

  • {{Two other uses||USE2|PAGE2||}} (all parameters except second and third are optional; however, omitting both the first and fourth values creates ambiguity, so please avoid):
ފަންވަތް:Two other uses
ފަންވަތް:Three other uses
(similar to {{Two other uses}} but displays three alternate uses instead of two)
For articles on storms.
  • {{For}} (disambiguous): Error: no context parameter provided. Use {{other uses}} for "other uses" hatnotes. (help).
  • {{For|OTHER TOPIC}} (disambiguous): Lua error in މޮޑިއުލް:Hatnote_list at line 185: attempt to call field 'disambiguate' (a nil value).
  • {{For|OTHER TOPIC|PAGE}}:
    For OTHER TOPIC, see PAGE.
  • {{For|OTHER TOPIC|PAGE1|PAGE2}}:
    For OTHER TOPIC, see PAGE1 and PAGE2.
  • {{For2|OTHER TOPIC|LINK TO [[PAGE1]] AND [[PAGE2]]}}: ފަންވަތް:For2
  • {{Redirect|REDIRECT}} (disambiguous):
  • {{Redirect|REDIRECT||PAGE}}:
  • {{Redirect|REDIRECT|USE|PAGE}}:
  • {{Redirect6|REDIRECT|USE1|PAGE1||}} (See note for {{Two other uses}} above)
ފަންވަތް:Redirect6

Do not use subst: with these templates, as that will prevent:

  1. propagating changes as the template is modified; and
  2. the What links here (WLH) listing.


DO NOT EDIT THESE TEMPLATES UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING

These templates may be used in thousands of articles, and changing the syntax could therefore break thousands of articles. If you wish to edit a disambiguation template first ask yourself:

  1. Is there already another template that will do this job? We have lots of disambiguation templates already, see Category:Disambiguation and redirection templates.
  2. Do I really need a template for this? Will it ever get used on any other articles, or should I just use

{{dablink}} instead?

  1. Do I know what will happen if I change the parameters around? Will it break existing uses of the template, and if so, can I fix them all?
