This template and {{tem|distinguish2}} are redundantly redundant to {{tem|about}}. Both templates can be used for the same purpose, but this one doesn't let you provide a description and has a harder-to-spell name, making it and its [[Template:Distinguish2|other form]] the target of this proposal. I'm not proposing to delete this, I'm proposing to merge this with {{tem|about}} and mark the template page with {{tem|abandoned}}. I would have proposed a full deletion, but it's used on the [[MarioWiki:BJAODN/Places#Flat Zone|BJAODN]], so we can't really delete it.

::::Not about and distinguish. Both distinguish templates. One is just with a link automatically applied and the other one is without the link, but can still be added manually. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 11:50, September 24, 2019 (EDT)

::No objections so far... Even so, I'll likely wait a while and start drawing up a proposal pitch in case. --{{User:Lord Grammaticus/sig}} 11:59, September 24, 2019 (EDT)
:::I think they can easily be merged. One is just a variant of the other with something extra, which can easily be implemented here as a separate parameter. {{User:Obsessive Mario Fan/sig}} 15:33, September 24, 2019 (EDT)
== Only three things? ==
This template currently has a limit of three links, but I think it should be expanded to accommodate more pages with similar names. An example is [[Super Mario Bros. (Game & Watch)]].--[[User:Platform|Platform]] ([[User talk:Platform|talk]]) 12:39, September 20, 2022 (EDT)
