"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}}Lua error in Module:About-distinguish at line 68: attempt to index field 'wikibase' (a nil value).
  • {{about-distinguish|USE1|PAGE1|PAGE2}}Lua error in Module:About-distinguish at line 68: attempt to index field 'wikibase' (a nil value).
  • {{about-distinguish|USE1|PAGE1{{!}}DISPLAY-TEXT|PAGE2#SECTION|PAGE3}}Lua error in Module:About-distinguish at line 68: attempt to index field 'wikibase' (a nil value).

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

  • {{about-distinguish-text|USE1|TEXT}}Lua error in Module:About-distinguish at line 68: attempt to index field 'wikibase' (a nil value).

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.
