Usage
This hatnote is generally used when there is an ambiguity that is not necessarily literal, but one that can be reasonably assumed to exist for a portion of the readership substantial enough to warrant a hatnote. When applying it, care should be taken to avoid trivial uses.
- Use either wikied or unwikied page names (up to 4)
{{Distinct|foo}} or {{Distinct|[[foo]]}} →
{{Distinct|foo|bar|something|baz}} or {{Distinct|[[foo]]|[[bar]]|[[something]]|[[baz]]}} →
- Use along with additional text for explanation
{{Distinct|the made-up words [[foo]] and [[bar]]}} →
See also
- {{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).
