This is a documentation subpage for Module:About-distinguish.
It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original module page.

This module depends on the following other modules:

Module:About-distinguish

This module uses the Wikidata properties:

sex or gender (P21) (see uses)
instance of (P31) (see uses)

"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}} →
This page is about USE1. It is not to be confused with PAGE1.
{{about-distinguish|USE1|PAGE1|PAGE2}} →
This page is about USE1. It is not to be confused with PAGE1 or PAGE2.
{{about-distinguish|USE1|PAGE1{{!}}DISPLAY-TEXT|PAGE2#SECTION|PAGE3}} →
This page is about USE1. It is not to be confused with DISPLAY-TEXT, PAGE2 § SECTION, or PAGE3.

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

{{about-distinguish-text|USE1|TEXT}} →
This page is about USE1. It is not to be confused with 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.
