Usage

This template is to be used when there are two articles with similar titles, but one article is so overwhelmingly more popular as to not warrant a disambiguation, though a link is still needed to the much less viewed article.

There are four parameters to this template, which should be used as {{Otheruses|1|2|3|4}}

  1. The subject of the article, specifically what makes it different from the other.
  2. The subject of the linked article.
  3. The title of the other article.
  4. Optional. Additional titles related to the current article. This option can be ignored if unnecessary.
