Usage

This templates flexibly accepts just about any wikitext in up to 4 parameters.

Use either wikied or unwikied page names

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

{{Distinct|foo|bar|something|baz}} or {{Distinct|[[foo]]|[[bar]]|[[something]]|[[baz]]}} →

Use additional text to explain further

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

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.

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).
