| File:Edit-copy green.svg | This is a documentation subpage for Template:Distinguish. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
Usage
{{Distinguish | foo}}
{{Distinguish | foo | bar}}
{{Distinguish | foo | bar | baz}}
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.
