Other uses of?[edit]

Would it make more sense for a user to use {{Other uses of}} instead of this template in cases where the title of the article already has an ambiguator? For example, I keep noticing Newone persistently adding this template to Vantablack (EP) and I have let them know that I am unopposed to using the alternative template instead, but I also want to see what others think of this.

Annoyance[edit]

Just noticed that {{other uses}} creates red links to pages that exist.

Any reason for that?

Do we want to keep it like that??

Does anyone care???
