[edit] Notes

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 hundreds of articles, and changing the syntax could therefore break hundreds 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?
  3. 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?

[edit] Discussion

For discussion on an old, similar template that now redirects here, see Template talk:Otherusesabout. —Caesura(t) 10:03, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Why "uses"??

Why other "uses", rather than other senses of the term? When people read "other uses", they can easily think it means other uses of the thing the article is about. What are some other uses for an M16 rifle? Etc. Michael Hardy 00:19, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Weirdness

This template displays very weirdly on this page, and I'm not sure why. It seems to display correctly in articles, though, which is all that's important. —Simetrical (talk • contribs) 04:15, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

I did deliberately put that on the main template page, Kross, so that people wouldn't freak out when they saw it and rollback or something. —Simetrical (talk • contribs) 23:54, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Merge

This template should be merged with {{This}} using ParserFunctions, as they output the same thing. So, for instance:

This article is about USE. For other uses, see Article (disambiguation).
This article is about USE. For other uses, see Different title.
