Template:About/doc

Usage

For clearing up confusion due to extremely similar names, odd naming convention, and/or disambiguation issues.

Code

{{about}}

Parameters

Required

• None

Optional

• 1

Defaults to {{PAGENAME}}. Should be the article title, can be changed as needed for clarity.

• 2

Defaults to a phrase "a specific." Can be changed as needed for clarity.

• 3

Defaults to a search function. The result is similar to pressing "search" under the search bar instead of "go." Can be changed to direct to a disambiguation page if editors feel that is prudent.

Example

{{about|Coat}}

Produces

This article is about Coat. For other uses, see PAGE or PAGES.

Notes

Please use sparingly. It is the norm for items in SK to be closely related with similar names, so using a template like this really interrupts the flow and core function of pages. For a long time editors have used redirects to get players where they need to go on average - but that's an average. Without a template like this, some things can be confusing for new players searching for one type of thing but ending up somewhere else. This should help with future article issues too, if more furniture items share names with tokens and gear and whatnot.
