Template:Other uses/doc

This template should be placed at the top of articles that have an ambiguous title when a corresponding disambiguation page exists. For example, since "Paris" most commonly refers to the city in France the Paris article title does not include disambiguation, so this template is placed at the top of that article to point to Paris (disambiguation).

When to use: When a page has an ambiguous title, so that readers who searched for that title might have been looking for a different article, use this template to direct those readers to a disambiguation page that may help them find their desired article.

When not to use: Do not use this template on an article with an unambiguous title; for example, a reader who searches specifically for "Paris (Texas)" 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 this template to the top of the Paris (Texas) 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.
