Tɛmplet:About-distinguish/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Tɛmplet:About-distinguish.
It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original tɛmplet page.

This template uses Lua:

Module:About-distinguish

"This page is about … It is not to be confused with …"

{{About-distinguish}} is a template for noting other uses when there could be confusion with another topic.

{{about-distinguish|USE1|PAGE1}} → Script error: No such module "About-distinguish".
{{about-distinguish|USE1|PAGE1|PAGE2}} → Script error: No such module "About-distinguish".
{{about-distinguish|USE1|PAGE1{{!}}DISPLAY-TEXT|PAGE2#SECTION|PAGE3}} → Script error: No such module "About-distinguish".

For cases requiring custom text, use {{about-distinguish2}} instead:

{{about-distinguish-text|USE1|TEXT}} →

If the page's Wikidata item has the property of being an instance of "human", then the template will try to replace "It" in "It is not to be confused with" with a more appropriate pronoun, based on the value of the "sex or gender" property of the item.

template for noting other uses when there could be confusion with another topic. For a version with custom text instead of links to other pages, see Template:about-distinguish-text
