== Usage ==

{{tlx|Distinguish}} is used to create [[w:Wikipedia:Hatnote|hatnotes]] to warn about possible confusion with a small number of other, related, titles at the '''top''' of [[w:Help:Section|article sections]] according to [[w:Wikipedia:Layout|Wikipedia:Layout]].

It is not for use in the "See also" ''section'' at the bottom of an article.

 {{Tlx
|1=Distinguish
|2=Article 1
|3=...
|4=''Article 4''
|5=''label 1{{=}}label1''
|6=...
|7=''label 4{{=}}label4''
}}

* One to four articles can be listed.
* The word "or" is always placed between the final two entries when displayed.
* If more than 4 entries are supplied, a message will be displayed pointing out the problem.<!-- this is relatively ungraceful failure -->
* You can use parameters label 1 to label 4 to specify alternative labels for the links.
:Adding newline characters will break article links. <!-- presumably because of the leading ":" -->

== Examples ==
* {{tlx|Distinguish|article1}}
{{Distinguish|article1}}
* {{tlx|Distinguish|article1|article2}}
{{Distinguish|article1|article2}}
* {{tlx|Distinguish|article1|article2|article3}}
{{Distinguish|article1|article2|article3}}
* {{tlx|Distinguish|article1|article2|article3|article4}}
{{Distinguish|article1|article2|article3|article4}}
* {{tlx|Distinguish|article1|label 1{{=}}label1}}
