==Otheruses templates==<br />
{{shortcut|T:OU}}<br />
To discuss these templates as a whole, please see: [[Wikipedia talk:Disambiguation|Disambiguation (talk)]]. 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.<br />
<br />
For a summary page on how to use these templates, see [[Wikipedia:HATTEST|the example page here]].<br />
<br />
===Generic===<br />
* '''<code>{{[[Template:Dablink|Dablink]]|TEXT}}</code>''' {{dablink|TEXT}}<br />
:''For example'': <code><nowiki>{{dablink|For other senses of this term, see [[etc...]]}}</nowiki></code> . (Note: adaptable, but fails to standardize [[Wikipedia:hatnotes|hatnotes]]).<br />
* '''<code>{{[[Template:Selfref|Selfref]]|TEXT}}</code>''' {{Selfref|TEXT}}<br />
:Note: similar in usage to the [[Template:Dablink|Dablink]] template, but used for hatnotes that don't make sense on mirrors of Wikipedia, such as linking an article from the main namespace to the Wikipedia namespace. (See: [[Wikipedia:Avoid self-references|Avoid self-references]] for more details).<br />
<br />
===Other uses===<br />
====About====<br />
{{tl|About}} is the main template for noting other uses.<br />
<br />
''Note. When used in [[Wikipedia:Main namespace|main namespace]], the word "page" in the following hatnotes is replaced by "article".''<br />
<br />
* '''<code>{{tlp|About|USE1}}</code>'''<br />
{{About|USE1}}<br />
* '''<code>{{tlp|About|USE1||PAGE2}}</code>''' (When the disambiguation page has a different name — '''Note the empty second parameter''')<br />
{{About|USE1||PAGE2}}<br />
* '''<code>{{tlp|About|USE1|USE2|PAGE2}}</code>''' (When there is only one other use)<br />
{{About|USE1|USE2|PAGE2}}<br />
* '''<code>{{tlp|About|USE1|USE2|PAGE2|and|PAGE3}}</code>''' (Two pages for USE2)<br />
{{About|USE1|USE2|PAGE2|and|PAGE3}}<br />
* '''<code>{{tlp|About|USE1|USE2|PAGE2|USE3|PAGE3|USE4|PAGE4|USE5|PAGE5}}</code>''' (When there are up to five other uses — You should generally create a [[Wikipedia:Disambiguation|disambiguation page]] at this point)<br />
{{About|USE1|USE2|PAGE2|USE3|PAGE3|USE4|PAGE4|USE5|PAGE5}}<br />
* '''<code>{{tlp|About|USE1|USE2|PAGE2|USE3|PAGE3|other uses}}</code>''' (When there are several standard other uses and also a disambiguation page with default name — '''Note that the last page name is not specified''')<br />
{{About|USE1|USE2|PAGE2|USE3|PAGE3|other uses}} <br />
* '''<code>{{tlp|About|USE1|USE2|PAGE2|USE3|PAGE3|other uses|PAGE4}}</code>''' (When there are several standard other uses and also a disambiguation page with non-default name)<br />
{{About|USE1|USE2|PAGE2|USE3|PAGE3|other uses|PAGE4}}<br />
* '''<code>{{tlp|About|USE1|USE2|PAGE2|USE3|PAGE3|other uses|PAGE4|and}}</code>'''<br />
{{About|USE1|USE2|PAGE2|USE3|PAGE3|other uses|PAGE4|and}} <br />
* '''<code>{{tlp|About||USE2|PAGE2|USE3|PAGE3|other uses}}</code>''' (When you don't need to state the focus of this article/page — '''Note the empty first parameter''')<br />
{{About||USE2|PAGE2|USE3|PAGE3|other uses}}<br />
<br />
====Other uses====<br />
When such a wordy hatnote as {{tl|About}} is not needed, {{tl|Other uses}} is often useful.<br />
<br />
* '''<code>{{tlp|Other uses}}</code>''' (disambiguous)<br />
{{Other uses}}<br />
* '''<code>{{tlp|Other uses|PAGE1}}</code>'''<br />
{{Other uses|PAGE1}}<br />
<br />
=====Variations=====<br />
There are, historically, a whole family of "other uses" templates for specific cases. {{tl|About}} is the standard hatnote for "other uses" and many of them can be specified using the {{tl|about}} template. However, the individual templates may be easier to use in certain contexts.<br />
<br />
Here are the variations and (when appropriate) the equivalents using the {{tl|About}}, {{tl|Other uses}} or {{tl|For}} templates.<br />
* '''<code>{{tlp|Other uses2|PAGE1}}</code>''' (disambiguous) {{Other uses2|PAGE1}}<br />
:Note: adds "(disambiguation)" to whatever is input as the PAGE1.<br />
:Note: <code>{{tlp|Other uses|PAGE1 (disambiguation)}}</code> produces the same result.<br />
* '''<code>{{tlp|Other uses5}}</code>''' (disambiguous) {{Other uses5}}<br />
:Note: use when there is both a singular and plural disambiguation page. (Only works when the plural is formed by simply adding a "s" at the end)<br />
* '''<code>{{tlp|Other uses6|PAGE1|PAGE2}}</code>''' {{Other uses6|PAGE1|PAGE2}}<br />
:Note: use when there are two disambiguation pages, such as a noun and an adjective or a singular and irregular plural. There are only two parameters, at least one parameter is required.<br />
:Note: <code>{{tlp|for||PAGE1|PAGE2}}</code> and <code>{{tlp|about|||PAGE1|and|PAGE2}}</code> produce the same result.<br />
* '''<code>{{tlp|Other uses-section|USE}}</code>''' (disambiguous) {{Other uses-section|USE}}<br />
:Note: same as {{tl|about}}, except that it says "section", instead of "article" or "page".<br />
<br />
====For====<br />
{{tl|For}} can be used instead of {{tl|About}} so as not to display: ''This page is about USE1.'' but still specify as specific other use. This effect can also be achieved by using an empty first parameter in {{tl|About}} as in:<br />
<br />
:''For example'': <code>{{tlp|For|OTHER TOPIC|PAGE1}}</code> is the same as <code>{{tlp|About||OTHER TOPIC|PAGE1}}</code> (note empty first parameter).<br><br />
<br />
However, it is somewhat more clear when using the {{tl|For}} template, since the word "about" does not appear in the statement.<br />
<br />
* '''<code>{{tlp|For|OTHER TOPIC}}</code>''' (disambiguous) {{For|OTHER TOPIC}}<br />
* '''<code>{{tlp|For|OTHER TOPIC|PAGE1}}</code>''' {{For|OTHER TOPIC|PAGE1}}<br />
* '''<code>{{tlp|For|OTHER TOPIC|PAGE1|PAGE2}}</code>''' {{For|OTHER TOPIC|PAGE1|PAGE2}}<br />
* '''<code>{{tlp|For||PAGE1|PAGE2}}</code>''' {{For||PAGE1|PAGE2}}<br />
<br />
=====Variations=====<br />
As with {{tl|Other uses}}, there are a whole family of "for" templates. For example {{tl|For3}} appends the word ''the'' in its mention of the second parameter, then generating a link, using either the second or (if present) the third parameter, as a parenthetical. Additionally, {{tl|The}} is simply a rendering of {{tl|For3}}, without bothering with the optional first argument.<br />
<br />
* '''<code>{{tlp|For2|OTHER TOPIC|CUSTOM TEXT}}</code>''' {{for2|OTHER TOPIC|CUSTOM TEXT}}<br />
* '''<code>{{tlp|For3||DIFFERENT MEANING}}</code>''' {{for3||DIFFERENT MEANING}}<br />
* '''<code>{{tlp|For3|OTHER TOPIC|DIFFERENT MEANING}}</code>''' {{for3|OTHER TOPIC|DIFFERENT MEANING}}<br />
* '''<code>{{tlp|For3|OTHER TOPIC|DIFFERENT MEANING|CUSTOM PARENTHETICAL}}</code>''' {{for3|OTHER TOPIC|DIFFERENT MEANING|CUSTOM PARENTHETICAL}}<br />
* '''<code>{{tlp|The|DIFFERENT MEANING}}</code>''' {{the|DIFFERENT MEANING}}<br />
* '''<code>{{tlp|The|DIFFERENT MEANING|CUSTOM PARENTHETICAL}}</code>''' {{the|DIFFERENT MEANING|CUSTOM PARENTHETICAL}}<br />
<br />
====See also====<br />
* '''<code>{{tlp|See also|OTHER TOPIC}}</code>''' {{see also|OTHER TOPIC}}<br />
:Note: use when OTHER TOPIC is related to that of the current article and already contains a self-explanatory parenthetical.<br />
* '''<code>{{tlp|see also cat|OTHER TOPIC}}</code>''' {{see also cat|OTHER TOPIC}}<br />
* '''<code>{{tlp|Cat see also|THIS|THAT|THE OTHER}}</code>'''<br><br />
::{{Cat see also|THIS|THAT|THE OTHER}}<br />
<br />
====Other people====<br />

* '''<code>{{[[Template:Other persons|Other persons]]|NAME}}</code>''' (disambiguous) {{Other persons|NAME}}<br />
* '''<code>{{[[Template:Other persons|Other persons]]|NAME|PAGE}}</code>''' {{Other persons|NAME|PAGE}}<br />
* '''<code>{{[[Template:Other people 2|Other people 2]]|PAGE}}</code>''' {{Other people 2|PAGE}}<br />
* '''<code>{{[[Template:Other people3|Other people3]]}}</code>''' (disambiguous) {{Other people3}}<br />
:Note: same as {{tl|Other persons}} except uses "people" instead of "persons"<br />
* '''<code>{{[[Template:Other people3|Other people3]]|PERSON1}}</code>''' (disambiguous) {{Other people3|PERSON1}}<br />
* '''<code>{{[[Template:Other people3|Other people3]]|PERSON1|PERSON2}}</code>''' (disambiguous) {{Other people3|PERSON1|PERSON2}}<br />
* '''<code>{{[[Template:Other people3|Other people3]]|PERSON1|PERSON2|PAGE2}}</code>''' {{Other people3|PERSON1|PERSON2|PAGE2}}<br />
* '''<code>{{[[Template:Other people3|Other people3]]|PERSON1||PAGE2}}</code>''' {{Other people3|PERSON1||PAGE2}}<br />
* '''<code>{{[[Template:Other people4|Other people4]]|NAME|PAGE|named=titled}}</code>''' {{Other people4|NAME|PAGE|named=titled}}<br />
:Note: defaults to "named" as in {{tl|Other persons}}, exists for options like "nicknamed", "known as", etc.<br />
<br />

===Notes===<br />
'''Do not use [[Wikipedia:Template substitution|subst:]] with these templates''', as that will prevent: <br />
# propagating changes as the template is modified; and the<br />
# ''[[Special:Whatlinkshere/{{NAMESPACE}}:{{PAGENAME}}|What links here]]'' (WLH) listing.<br />
<br />
'''Please do not edit these templates, unless you know what you are doing.'''<br />
<br />
These templates are used in thousands of articles; therefore, changing the syntax could break thousands of articles. If you wish to create or edit a disambiguation or redirection template, first ask yourself the following questions:<br />
# Is there another template already, that will do this job? Since many disambiguation and redirection templates have already been created, first check: [[:Category:Disambiguation and redirection templates]].<br />
# Do I really need a new template for this? Will it likely be used on any other articles or should I just use {{tl|dablink}} instead? Before creating a new template, see: [[Wikipedia:Template namespace|Template namespace]] guideline.<br />
# If I change the parameters around on an existing template, do I know what the result will be? Will it break existing uses of the template and if so, can I fix all of the errors? Before making any changes, see: [[Wikipedia:Template test cases|Template test cases]]. <br />
