Template:Otheruses templates

Otheruses templates
To discuss these templates as a whole, please see: 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.

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

Generic

 * For example:  . (Note: adaptable, but fails to standardize hatnotes).
 * For example:  . (Note: adaptable, but fails to standardize hatnotes).


 * Note: similar in usage to the 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: Avoid self-references for more details).

Otheruses
Note: when used in the main namespace, the word "page" is replaced by "article" in the following hatnotes.

About is the main template for giving other uses; however, it now redirects to otheruses4.


 *   (disambiguous)
 *   (disambiguous)
 *   (note empty first parameter and does not display: This page is about USE1.)
 *   (note empty first parameter and does not display: This page is about USE1.)


 *   (fully specified)

Variations
Serving the same purpose are the variations of otheruses4, or the redirect about. These are marginally easier to use for each individual purpose; however, because having so many different templates complicates things, it could be argued that the time saved by using them is lost by the time required to learn about them.

The following templates are variations of otheruses4, or the redirect about:
 *   (disambiguous)
 * Note:  will produce the same result.


 *   (disambiguous)
 * Note:  will produce the same result.


 *   (disambiguous)
 * Note: adds "(disambiguation)" to whatever is input as the PAGE.


 * Note:  (with two empty parameters) will produce the same result.
 * Note:  (with two empty parameters) will produce the same result.


 *   (disambiguous)
 * 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)


 * 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. (This usage cannot be recreated with, only with or )

 *   (disambiguous)
 * Note: same as Otheruses4, except that it says "section", instead of "article" or "page" and indents only as far as Main and other section quasi-hatnotes.

For (other topic)
Both for (and for2) can be used, instead of otheruses4 or the redirect about, to not display: This page is about USE1. This effect can also be achieved by using an empty first parameter in otheruses4 or the redirect about.
 * For example:  is the same as   (note empty first parameter).

Also, for3 is somewhat different, appending 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, the is simply a rendering of for3, without bothering with the optional first argument.
