Hatnote templates
[edit]For a summary page on how to use these templates, see the example page here. For the full editing guideline on hatnotes, see Wikipedia:Hatnote.
Generic
[edit]- {{Hatnote|CUSTOM TEXT}} →
- {{Hatnote|For other senses of this term, see [[etc…]]}} →
More pages on the same topic ("Further information ...")
[edit]"Main article: …"
[edit]{{Main}} is used to make summary style explicit, when used in a summary section for which there is also a separate article on the subject:
"For more details on …, see …"
[edit]{{Details}} can supplement {{Main}} in summary sections, or can indicate more details in nonsummary sections:
- {{Details|PAGE1}} → Lua error in Module:Details at line 30: attempt to call field '_formatLink' (a nil value).
- {{Details|PAGE1|TOPIC}} → Lua error in Module:Details at line 30: attempt to call field '_formatLink' (a nil value).
{{Details3}} allows changing the displayed name for links. Unlike {{Details}}, it requires bracketed link notation:
- {{Details3|[[NTSC#Color_encoding|NTSC Color encoding]]}} →
- {{Details3|[[article 1|Article 1]], [[article 2|Article 2]], and [[article 3|Article 3]]|TOPIC}} →
Alternatively, the {{!}} magic word can be used to change the displayed name for links:
- {{Details|NTSC#Color_encoding{{!}}NTSC Color encoding}} → Lua error in Module:Details at line 30: attempt to call field '_formatLink' (a nil value).
"See also …"
[edit]- {{See also|TOPIC PAGE|OTHER TOPIC PAGE}} →
- Note: use only when OTHER TOPIC PAGE is related to current article and contains a self-explanatory parenthetical.
- {{See also2|[[OTHER TOPIC]]|[[OTHER TOPIC2]]|[[OTHER TOPIC3]] and other text}} →
"Further information: …"
[edit]- {{Further|PAGE}} →
- {{Further|PAGE1|PAGE2}} →
- {{Further2|[[PAGE1]], [[PAGE2]], and [[PAGE#3|PAGE3]]}} →
Other uses of the same title
[edit]"This page is about … For other uses …"
[edit]{{About}} is the main template for noting other uses.
Note. When used in main namespace, the word "page" in the following hatnotes is replaced by "article".
- {{About|USE1}} →
- {{About|USE1||PAGE2}} (When the disambiguation page has a different name – Note the empty second parameter) →
- {{About|USE1|USE2}} (When there is only one other use) →
- {{About|USE1|USE2}} (Two pages for USE2) →
- {{About|USE1|USE2}} (Using the {{!}} magic word to give the link a different title) →
- {{About|USE1|USE2}} (When there are up to four other uses – You should generally create a disambiguation page at this point) →
- {{About|USE1|USE2}} (When there are several standard other uses and also a disambiguation page with default name – Note that the last page name is not specified) →
- {{About|USE1|USE2}} (When there are several standard other uses and also a disambiguation page with non-default name) →
- {{About|USE1|USE2}} →
- {{About||USE2|PAGE2}} (When you don't need to state the focus of this article/page – Note the empty first parameter) →
- {{About|||PAGE1|and}} →
- Note: {{for||PAGE1|PAGE2}} produces the same result.
- {{About|USE1|section=yes}} →
- Note: this hatnote says "section", instead of "article" or "page".
"This page is about … It is not to be confused with …"
[edit]{{About-distinguish}} is a template for noting other uses when there could be confusion with another topic.
- {{About-distinguish|USE1|PAGE1}} →
- {{About-distinguish2|USE1|TEXT}} →
"For …, see …"
[edit]{{For}} can be used instead of {{About}} so as not to display: This page is about USE1. but still specify a specific other use. This effect can also be achieved by using an empty first parameter in {{About}} as in:
- For example: {{for|OTHER TOPIC|PAGE1}} is the same as {{About||OTHER TOPIC|PAGE1}} (note the empty first parameter).
However, it is somewhat clearer when using the {{For}} template, since the word "about" does not appear in the statement.
- {{For|OTHER TOPIC}} (disambiguous) →
- {{For|OTHER TOPIC|PAGE1}} →
- {{For|OTHER TOPIC|PAGE1}} →
- {{For|OTHER TOPIC|PAGE1}} →
- {{For||PAGE1|PAGE2}} → Error: no context parameter provided. Use {{other uses}} for "other uses" hatnotes. (help).
- Variations
As with {{Other uses}}, there is a whole family of "for" templates.[clarification needed]
- {{For2|OTHER TOPIC|CUSTOM TEXT}} →
"For other uses, see …"
[edit]When such a wordy hatnote as {{About}} is not needed, {{Other uses}} is often useful.
- {{Other uses}} (disambiguous) →
- {{Other uses|PAGE1}} →
- {{Other uses|PAGE1|PAGE2}} →
- Variations
There are, historically, a whole family of "other uses" templates for specific cases. {{About}} is the standard hatnote for "other uses" and many of them can be specified using the {{About}} template. However, the individual templates may be easier to use in certain contexts.
Here are the variations and (when appropriate) the equivalents using the {{About}}, {{Other uses}} or {{For}} templates.
- {{Other uses2|PAGE1}} (disambiguous) →
- Note: adds "(disambiguation)" to whatever is input as the PAGE1.
- Note: {{Other uses|PAGE1 (disambiguation)}} produces the same result.
- {{Two other uses|USE1|USE2}} →
- Note: same as {{about}}, except it forces a second use to be noted if unspecified by parameters.
- {{Two other uses|USE1|USE2}} →
- {{Two other uses|USE2}} →
- {{Three other uses|USE1|USE2}}
- {{Three other uses||USE2|PAGE2}} →
- {{Three other uses|USE1|USE2}} →

Categories
[edit]Category-specific templates:
- {{Category see also|THIS|THAT}} →
This is a template for linking categories horizontally. Horizontal linkage is often the right solution when vertical linkage (i.e., as sub-category and parent category) is not appropriate. In most cases, this template should be used on both categories to create reciprocal linkage between the two categories.

Notes
[edit]| This template should not be substituted. |
These templates are used in thousands of articles; therefore, changing the syntax could break thousands of articles. If you wish to create or edit a disambiguation or redirection template, first ask yourself the following questions:
- Is there already a template that will do this job? Since many disambiguation and redirection templates have already been created, first check: Category:Disambiguation and redirection templates.
- Do I really need a new template for this? Will it likely be used on any other articles or should I just use {{Hatnote}} instead? Before creating a new template, see the template namespace guideline.
- If I change the parameters around on an existing template, do I know what the result will be? Will it break existing uses of the template and if so, can I fix all of the errors? Before making any changes, see Template sandbox and test cases.
