Template:Ambiguous short name

Every single possible use of this template either violates WP:NAMB or is redundant to {{redirect}}. * Pppery * it has begun... 13:14, 30 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I created the template because I had a use case that wasn't covered by current hatnotes. There is no redundancy to {{redirect}}, given that this template has nothing to do with redirects. Obviously, this hatnote, just like other disambiguating hatnotes, should only be used when there's an actual need for disambiguation. Take, for example, the case of Eastern Orthodox Church: one of the use cases for this template. If I search on Google for "Orthodox Church," I get an infobox featuring the Eastern Orthodox Church article on Wikipedia. This is because "Orthodox Church" is a common shortening of "Eastern Orthodox Church." Let say that the reader is actually searching for another church called "Orthodox Church," but doesn't know quite enough about the topic to know whether the identification of "Eastern Orthodox Church" with "Orthodox Church" is an identification as true synonym or as synonymic instance. Without this hatnote, the reader might be confused by the lede of that article, which says that "Orthodox Church" is another name for "Eastern Orthodox Church" (which is true). But this hatnote helps guide the reader in that situation, giving the reader a brief explanation, and pointing the reader to the disambiguation page that can lead to the article the reader is looking for. This template is useful in cases in which there's no WP:PRIMARYTOPIC for a term (and therefore no {{redirect}}), but there's still a likelihood of ambiguity when a shorter version of the article name is readily conflated with the full title. Although this hatnote covers subtly different use cases, it is similar in spirit to {{Other uses of}} and {{Distinguish}}, so if this template is inherently WP:NAMB-violating as the nominator asserts, I have a difficult time understanding why those other hatnote templates would not be as well.

Subsequent to this nomination, I renamed the template to Template:Maybe distinguish because this does a much better job of communicating this template's range of use cases and its relation to existing ones. Jdcompguy (talk) 16:07, 30 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Keep the template and module. Delete the redirect. Jdcompguy (talk) 16:53, 30 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Unused. Not an actual series of films. No main connection other than the similarity of titles. WikiCleanerMan (talk) 20:07, 7 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I was trying to see what the franchise is about but it seems WCM is correct that they are unrelated as the 4 articles I've checked don't even mention this. Gonnym (talk) 13:59, 12 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Single use template, usage should be changed to {{cite web}} --Minorax«¦talk¦» 08:18, 7 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This book, although being called a cookbook, beautifully describes the interesting cultures and traditions and eating habits of the multiethnic groups in northern Laos. This book also best summarizes how Lao people in general enjoy eating sticky rice with fruit, including mangoes.
As the authors stated, this book is now available for free loading:

Download our book
Here is our Gourmand award winning book “FOOD FROM NORTHERN LAOS: The Boat Landing Cookbook” available for free download as it is now out of print.
Food from N Laos pdf (2019)
Kees and I decided not to reprint because:
• we want the information to be freely available to anyone interested
• the cultural knowledge contained in the book belongs to the Lao people.
Now if a nice publisher wants to reprint the book (our print run was 3,000 copies) please contact us for permission. But the deal is that the free version stays available through this website and the Boat Landing website.
Cheers,
Dorothy and Kees
As the author stated:
Note: If citation of this book goes against the rules of Wikipedia, maybe I could take a photo of only a small section of the book describing how Lao people eat mango with sticky rice, and show it in references section as in reference 9? Bounthy (talk) 14:22, 7 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Neither is A Babysitter's Guide to Monster Hunting. There is only one link article related to the subject. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 20:18, 7 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
With that said, this meets the deletion requirements because there is only one link that is part of the subject. I don't think merging this article, Hubie Halloween, with the Christmas Netflix films navbox does any good. Holiday films could still mean Christmas films. And the Hubie Halloween article already is linked in two navboxes that are doing the job of navigation already. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 21:16, 8 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
