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

{{Dablink|TEXT}}

TEXT

For example: {{dablink|For other senses of this term, see [[etc...]]}} . (Note: adaptable, but fails to standardize hatnotes).

{{Selfref|TEXT}}

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; it redirects to {{otheruses4}}.

{{otheruses4|USE1}} (disambiguous)
{{otheruses4|USE1|USE2}} (disambiguous)
{{otheruses4|USE1|USE2|PAGE2}}
{{About||USE2|PAGE2|USE3|PAGE3|USE4|PAGE4|USE5|PAGE5}} (alias and empty first parameter)

{{otheruses4|USE1|USE2|PAGE2|USE3|PAGE3|USE4|PAGE4|USE5|PAGE5}} (fully specified)

Variations

Serving the same purpose are the variations of {{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 {{about}}:

{{otheruses}} (disambiguous)

Note: {{about}} will produce the same result.

{{otheruses1|USE}} (disambiguous)

Note: {{about|USE}} will produce the same result.

{{otheruses2|PAGE}} (disambiguous) Templat:Otheruses2

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

{{otheruses3|PAGE}}

Note: {{about|||PAGE}} (with two empty parameters) will produce the same result.

{{otheruses5}} (disambiguous) Templat:Otheruses5

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)

{{otheruses6|PAGE1|PAGE2}} Templat:Otheruses6

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 {{about}}, only with {{dablink}} or {{for}})

{{This|USE|PAGE}} Templat:This

Note: {{about|USE||PAGE}} (with one empty parameter) will produce the same result.

{{Template:Otheruses-section}} (disambiguous) Templat:Otheruses-section

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 {{about}}, to not include the first part - "This article is about USE". However, this effect can also be achieved with an empty first parameter in {{about}}.

For example: {{For|OTHER TOPIC|PAGE}} becomes {{About||OTHER TOPIC|PAGE}}.

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.

{{For}} (disambiguous)
{{For|OTHER TOPIC}} (disambiguous)
{{For|OTHER TOPIC|PAGE}}
{{For|OTHER TOPIC|PAGE1|PAGE2}}
{{For2|OTHER TOPIC|CUSTOM TEXT}}

Untuk OTHER TOPIC, sila lihat CUSTOM TEXT.

Notes

Do not use subst: with these templates, as that will prevent:

propagating changes as the template is modified; and the
What links here (WLH) listing.

Please do not edit these templates, unless you know what you are doing.

These templates are used in thousands of articles; therefore, changing the syntax could break thousands of articles. If you wish to create or edit a disambiguation or redirection template, first ask yourself the following questions:

Is there another template already, that will do this job? Since many disambiguation and redirection templates have already been created, first check: Category:Disambiguation and redirection templates.
Do I really need a new template for this? Will it likely be used on any other articles or should I just use {{dablink}} instead? Before creating a new template, see: Template namespace guideline.
If I change the parameters around on an existing template, do I know what the result will be? Will it break existing uses of the template and if so, can I fix all of the errors? Before making any changes, see: Template test cases.
