#When using the clean template @uses references are not displayed unless a description is provided.

Steps to Replicate:

1. Create function and add a DocBlock with the @uses tag like:

/**
 * Method to show bug with uses tag in phpDocumentor
 * 
 * @access public
 * @uses SomeNamespace\SomeClass::SomeMethod()
 * @return void
 */ 

2. Generate documentation using the clean template
3. Navigate to the method in generated documentation and note in the sidebar an empty uses
4. Update the DocBlock as follows

/**
 * Method to show bug with uses tag in phpDocumentor
 * 
 * @access public
 * @uses SomeNamespace\SomeClass::SomeMethod() Now you can see me!
 * @return void
 */ 

5. Generate documentation using the clean template.
6. Navigate to the method in generated documentation and note in the sidebar the uses is populated with "Now you can see me!" and clicking will navigate to SomeNamespace\SomeClass::SomeMethod()
7. Update the DocBlock to the one in step 1 above.
8. Generate documentation using the default template
9. Navigate to the method in generated documentation and note proper reference of @uses

Suggested Fix:
It appears that the issue is due to the template using the @uses description rather than the tag itself when rendering. Fixing the template to use the tag itself should resolve the issue.

I anticipate the code site in question is here:

Version: phpDocumentor v3.8.0
