[[Category:Template documentation pages{{#translation:}}]]

This template uses Lua:

Module:About-distinguish

"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 61: attempt to index field 'wikibase' (a nil value).
{{about-distinguish|USE1|PAGE1|PAGE2}} → Lua error in Module:About-distinguish at line 61: 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 61: attempt to index field 'wikibase' (a nil value).

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

{{about-distinguish2|USE1|TEXT}} →

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.
