Not to be confused with [[{{{1}}}]].

To use this template to distinguish two similarly-named pages, usually comics.

Place {{distinguish|PAGENAME}} at the top of a page. For example:

{{distinguish|518: Flow Charts}}
Not to be confused with 518: Flow Charts.

You can also specify up to 4 more parameters to link to multiple other pages:

{{distinguish|518: Flow Charts|1488: Flowcharts}}
Not to be confused with 518: Flow Charts or 1488: Flowcharts.

You can specify a common parameter to add the comic to the comics sharing name category with the value of the parameter given included after a bar. If common is defined to a blank value (by doing |common=), the bar and the parameter will be omitted from the link. If common is not specified, the comic is not added to the category.
