[edit] Otheruses templates

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).

[edit] Generic

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

[edit] Otheruses

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

  • {{otheruses}} (disambiguous):
  • {{otheruses1|USE}} (disambiguous):
  • {{This|USE|PAGE}}:

  • {{otheruses4|USE1}} (disambiguous):
  • {{otheruses4|USE1|USE2}}:
  • {{otheruses4|USE1|USE2|PAGE2}}:
  • {{otheruses5}}: (this is for when there are both a singular and plural disambiguation page; only works when the plural is formed simply by adding "s" at the end.
  • {{otheruses6|PAGE1|PAGE2}}: (for when there are two disambiguation pages, such as noun and adjective, or singular and irregular plural; there are only two parameters, they are required, and they do not auto-add "(disambiguation)")
  • {{Two other uses|USE1|USE2|PAGE2|USE3|PAGE3}} (fully-specified):
  • {{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):

[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 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?
  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] TFD

This template survived a TFD nomination - see Wikipedia:Templates_for_deletion/Log/Not_deleted/May_2005#Template:This. Radiant_* 08:46, May 24, 2005 (UTC)

It passed 3:2 for, but Frazydeel's vote was conditional, and condition is not met. As to standardizing the approach to disambiguation, please do a thorough study of the Wikipedia:Disambiguation guideline and Wikipedia:Manual of Style (disambiguation pages) before building tools to help implement those guidelines. I'm not happy with the use of this template in its current form, but it could develop. I won't reopen the TFD, but please don't use this thing on pages I care about until it works right. --Yannick 18:35, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)
