This template creates a note directing the reader to the disambiguation page related to the page it is included in. The page to which is directed, can be a page whose name is the name of the current page with "(disambiguation)" appended to it. Or you can direct the user to a disambiguation page with a different title, by supplying it as an argument to the template.

{{Other uses|A}} results in
{{Other uses|A|B}} results in

When to use this template
mali niŋThis template can be used on pages with an ambiguous title to direct readers that intended to read a similarly named article, to a disambiguation page. Please link to a page that includes the word "(disambiguation)" in the title (if one exists), as illustrated in the example above and suggested here.
When not to use this template
mali niŋDo not use this template on an article with an unambiguous title; for example, a reader who searches specifically for "Paris, Virginia" is not likely to have been looking for an article about a city in France (or anywhere else), so it would not be appropriate to add {{other uses|Paris}} to the top of the Paris, Virginia article. Also, do not use this template to link to an article that is not a disambiguation page; instead, one of the other hatnote templates listed below may be more appropriate for that purpose.
