Template:Other uses
.svg){kind=link}
 | Using this template does not create a disambiguation page of the article's title. For information about disambiguation pages, see Policy:Disambiguation. |
 | This template uses Lua: |
This template creates a note directing the reader to the disambiguation page related to the page it is included in. The page to which is directed, can be a page whose name is the name of the current page with "(disambiguation)" appended to it. Or you can direct the user to a disambiguation page with a different title, by supplying it as an argument to the template.
Usage
Placed on the page Atlas itself, {{Other uses}} results in
{{Other uses|Atlas}} results in
{{Other uses|Atlas|Bandersnatch}} results in
For the same result on any other page, use {{Other uses|Target (disambiguation)}}
When to use this template
This template can be used on pages with an ambiguous title to direct readers that intended to read a similarly named article, to a disambiguation page. Please link to a page that includes the word "(disambiguation)" in the title (if one exists).
When not to use this template
Do not use this template on an article with an unambiguous title; for example, a reader who searches specifically for "Paris, Virginia" is not likely to have been looking for an article about a city in France (or anywhere else), so it would not be appropriate to add {{other uses|Paris}} to the top of the Paris, Virginia article. Also, do not use this template to link to an article that is not a disambiguation page; instead, one of the other hatnote templates listed below may be more appropriate for that purpose.
