This module is subject to page protection. It is a highly visible module in use by a very large number of pages, or is substituted very frequently. Because vandalism or mistakes would affect many pages, and even trivial editing might cause substantial load on the servers, it is protected from editing.

This module produces an "other uses" hatnote for linking to disambiguation pages. It implements the {{other uses}} template.

Usage from wikitext

otheruses()

The otheruses() function directly implements {{other uses}} and probably shouldn't be used anywhere else.

otherX()

The otherX() function allows direct implementation of templates that differ from {{other uses}} in only phrasing. For example, where {{other uses}} is phrased with "other uses", {{other places}} is phrased with "other places with the same name" and can be implemented using otherX(), which takes the custom phrasing as its parameter at the module invocation. {{other places}} in particular could be implemented with this wikitext:

{{#invoke:other uses|otherX|places with the same name}}

Note that the leading "other" is automatically supplied; if a template would not use this phrasing, it should not use otherX().

Usage from Lua

To use this module from Lua, first load the module:

local mOtheruses = require('Module:Other uses')

The module functions can then be used through the _otheruses() function:

mOtheruses._otheruses(args, options)

Parameters of `_otheruses()`

args

A table containing strings of link text, without brackets. For example, {"PAGE1", "PAGE2#SECTION", "PAGE3|LABEL"}. Make sure that there are no gaps or nil values, as that can confuse the mw.text.listToText() function the module uses. If in doubt, use compressSparseArray() from Module:TableTools. This may be empty or nil.

options

A table containing a number of optional named values; you must supply at least one of options.defaultPage or options.title; in most cases setting the latter to mw.title.getCurrentTitle().prefixedText is advisable. The following options are supported:

defaultPage: String; completely overrides the linked page when no arguments are supplied
title: String; sets the title used before the "(disambiguation)" suffix.
disambiguator: String; replaces "disambiguation" in the suffix
otherText: String; replaces "uses" in "other uses"
