Template is used for linking the reader to articles with similar titles or concepts that they may have been seeking instead.

Usage

You also add several other pairs (of description and link) for multiple other usages.

If you do not give the description for the first link, it will display “other uses” by default – you may specify description (without leading “for” and ending “see”). For descriptions of the 2nd (or firther) other usage, you must supply this distinctive description.
If you do not give the name of the other page, it automatically targets a disambiguation page, i.e. the full name of the current page with an appended “ (disambiguation)” suffix. You should specify the explicit name of each other page except one of them.

Example usage
