{{Distinct|foo}} or {{Distinct|[[foo]]}} →

{{Distinct|the made-up words|foo|bar}} →

  • {{Distinguish}}, for multiple disambiguation targets or prepending "the".
  • {{Distinguish2}}, for multiple disambiguation targets or prepending "the".
  • {{About}}, if the page title does (without misspelling) describe the other target (since the user is then aided by a clear statement of how the page's topic differs from the other target's topic).
