This template creates a note directing the reader to the [[wikipedia:WP:DISAMBIGUATION|disambiguation page]] related to the page it is included in. The page to which is directed, can be a page whose name is the name of the current page with "(disambiguation)" appended to it. Or you can direct the user to a disambiguation page with a different title, by supplying it as an argument to the template.

==Usage==
Placed on the page [[Target]] itself, '''{{Tlx|Other uses}}''' results in
{{other uses|Target (disambiguation)}}

'''{{Tlx|Other uses|A}}''' results in
{{Other uses|A}}

'''{{Tlx|Other uses|A|B}}''' results in
{{Other uses|A|B}}

For the same result on any other page, use '''{{Tlx|Other uses|Target (disambiguation)}}'''

==When to use this template==
This template can be used on pages with an ambiguous title to direct readers that intended to read a similarly named article, to a [[wikipedia:WP:D|disambiguation page]].
Please link to a page that includes the word "(disambiguation)" in the title (if one exists), as illustrated in the example above and suggested [[wikipedia:WP:INTDABLINK|here]].

==When not to use this template==
Do not use this template on an article with an unambiguous title; for example, a reader who searches specifically for "Paris, Virginia" 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 {{tlx|other uses|Paris}} to the top of the [[Paris, Virginia]] article.  Also, do not use this template to link to an article that is not a disambiguation page; instead, one of the other [[wikipedia:WP:HATNOTE|hatnote templates]] listed below may be more appropriate for that purpose.
