Template:Otheruses

You can add several pairs (of description and link) for multiple other usages (currently up to 5 pairs).

• Each provided description (in parameter 1 for the use in the current page, and in parameters 2, 4, 6... for other uses) can be autotranslated using {{LangSwitch}}.
• 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 further) other usage, you must supply this distinctive description.
• If you do not give the name of the other page (in parameters 3, 5, 7, ...), 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.

{{Otheruses}}

For other uses, see Otheruses (disambiguation).

The descriptions themselves will not be correct in the generated sentence, even if the template translates some fixed parts. You can autotranslate the provided descriptions for example with {{LangSwitch}}:
