Other uses (of the title)

"This page is about … For other uses …"

{{About}} is the main template for noting other uses.

Note. When used in main namespace, the word "page" in the following hatnotes is replaced by "article".

{{about|USE1}} → Skantlyn:About
{{about|USE1||PAGE2}} (When the disambiguation page has a different name – Note the empty second parameter) → Skantlyn:About
{{about|USE1|USE2|PAGE2}} (When there is only one other use) → Skantlyn:About
{{about|USE1|USE2|PAGE2|and|PAGE3}} (Two pages for USE2) → Skantlyn:About
{{about|USE1|USE2|PAGE2#SUBSECTIONSkantlyn:TlfPAGE2TITLE}} (Using the {{!}} template to give the link a different title) → Skantlyn:About
{{about|USE1|USE2|PAGE2|USE3|PAGE3|USE4|PAGE4|USE5|PAGE5}} (When there are up to four other uses – You should generally create a disambiguation page at this point) → Skantlyn:About
{{about|USE1|USE2|PAGE2|USE3|PAGE3|other uses}} (When there are several standard other uses and also a disambiguation page with default name – Note that the last page name is not specified) → Skantlyn:About
{{about|USE1|USE2|PAGE2|USE3|PAGE3|other uses|PAGE4}} (When there are several standard other uses and also a disambiguation page with non-default name) →Skantlyn:About
{{about|USE1|USE2|PAGE2|USE3|PAGE3|other uses|PAGE4|and}} → Skantlyn:About
{{about||USE2|PAGE2|USE3|PAGE3|other uses}} (When you don't need to state the focus of this article/page – Note the empty first parameter) → Skantlyn:About
{{about|||PAGE1|and|PAGE2}} → Skantlyn:About

Note: {{for||PAGE1|PAGE2}} produces the same result.

{{other uses-section|USE}} (disambiguous) → Skantlyn:Other uses-section

Note: this hatnote says "section", instead of "article" or "page".

"See also …"

{{see also|OTHER TOPIC|OTHER TOPIC2}} → Skantlyn:See also

Note: use when OTHER TOPIC is related to that of the current article and already contains a self-explanatory parenthetical.

{{see also2|[[OTHER TOPIC]]|[[OTHER TOPIC2]]|[[OTHER TOPIC3]] and other text}} → Skantlyn:See also2

"For …, see …"

{{For}} can be used instead of {{About}} so as not to display: This page is about USE1. but still specify a specific other use. This effect can also be achieved by using an empty first parameter in {{About}} as in:

For example: {{for|OTHER TOPIC|PAGE1}} is the same as {{about||OTHER TOPIC|PAGE1}} (note the empty first parameter).

However, it is somewhat clearer when using the {{For}} template, since the word "about" does not appear in the statement.

{{for|OTHER TOPIC}} (disambiguous) →
{{for|OTHER TOPIC|PAGE1}} →
{{for|OTHER TOPIC|PAGE1|PAGE2}} →
{{for|OTHER TOPIC|PAGE1|PAGE2|PAGE3}} →
{{for||PAGE1|PAGE2}} → Error: no context parameter provided. Use {{other uses}} for "other uses" hatnotes. (help).

Variations

As with {{Other uses}}, there are a whole family of "for" templates.

{{for2|OTHER TOPIC|CUSTOM TEXT}} →
For OTHER TOPIC, see CUSTOM TEXT.

"For other uses, see …"

When such a wordy hatnote as {{About}} is not needed, {{Other uses}} is often useful.

{{other uses}} (disambiguous) → Skantlyn:Other uses
{{other uses|PAGE1}} → Skantlyn:Other uses
{{other uses|PAGE1|PAGE2}} → Skantlyn:Other uses

Variations

There are, historically, a whole family of "other uses" templates for specific cases. {{About}} is the standard hatnote for "other uses" and many of them can be specified using the {{About}} template. However, the individual templates may be easier to use in certain contexts.

Here are the variations and (when appropriate) the equivalents using the {{About}}, {{Other uses}} or {{For}} templates.

{{other uses2|PAGE1}} (disambiguous) → Skantlyn:Other uses2

Note: adds "(disambiguation)" to whatever is input as the PAGE1.

Note: {{other uses|PAGE1 (disambiguation)}} produces the same result.

{{two other uses|USE1|USE2|PAGE2}} → Skantlyn:Two other uses

Note: same as {{about}}, except it forces a second use to be noted if unspecified by parameters.

{{two other uses|USE1|USE2|PAGE2|USE3|PAGE3}} → Skantlyn:Two other uses
{{three other uses|USE1|USE2|PAGE2|USE3|PAGE3}} Skantlyn:Three other uses
{{three other uses||USE2|PAGE2|USE3|PAGE3}} → Skantlyn:Three other uses
{{three other uses|USE1|USE2|PAGE2|USE3|PAGE3|USE4|PAGE4}} → Skantlyn:Three other uses

"For other uses of …, see …"

{{other uses of}} (disambiguous) → Skantlyn:Other uses of
{{other uses of|TOPIC}} (disambiguous) → Skantlyn:Other uses of
{{other uses of|TOPIC|PAGE1}} → Skantlyn:Other uses of

"For more details on …, see …"

{{details}} is used to make summary style explicit. To be used in a section for which there is also a separate article on the subject.

{{details|Article|TOPIC}} → Skantlyn:Details

{{Details3}} allows any text to links:

{{details3|[[article 1]], [[article 2]], and [[article 3]]|TOPIC}} → Skantlyn:Details3

"… redirects here. For other uses, see …"

{{redirect|REDIRECT}} (disambiguous) →
{{redirect|REDIRECT||PAGE1}} →

{{redirect|REDIRECT|USE1|PAGE1|USE2|PAGE2}} →
{{redirect|REDIRECT|USE1|PAGE1|USE2|PAGE2|USE3|PAGE3}} →

{{redirect7|"REDIRECT1", "REDIRECT2", and "REDIRECT3"|USE1|PAGE1|USE2|PAGE2}} → Skantlyn:Redirect7

Note: If the number of pages redirecting to the target page is two, {{redirect2}} can be used instead. If the number is three and there are three corresponding disambiguation pages, {{redirect10}} can be used.

{{redirect10|REDIRECT1|REDIRECT2|REDIRECT3}} (disambiguous) → Skantlyn:Redirect10
