Template:Confusion

This template, just like {{distinguish}}, is intended for when two or more entities have very similar, or even identical names. One such example is weapon_molotov, some games it can be found in are , or , yet they are not the same entity and act differently.

To start using this template, refer to this example:

{{Confusion|Hey! {{l4d}} with {{l4d2}} looks confusing to me! Don't judge!}}

→

Risk of confusion: Hey! with looks confusing to me! Don't judge!

Simple and self-explanatory, isn't it?
However, remember to never fill the parameter blank, or you'll get a surprise..
