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}}→CUSTOM TEXT
{{Rellink|CUSTOM TEXT}}→CUSTOM TEXT
Other uses (of the 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}}→This page is about USE1. For other uses, see Hatnote templates documentation (disambiguation).{{About|USE1||PAGE2}}(When the disambiguation page has a different name – Note the empty second parameter) →This page is about USE1. For other uses, see PAGE2.{{About|USE1|USE2|PAGE2}}(When there is only one other use) →This page is about USE1. For USE2, see PAGE2.{{About|USE1|USE2|PAGE2|and|PAGE3}}(Two pages for USE2) →{{About|USE1|USE2|PAGE2#SUBSECTION{{!}}PAGE2TITLE}}(Using the {{!}} template to give the link a different title) →This page is about USE1. For USE2, see PAGE2TITLE.{{About|USE1|USE2|PAGE2|USE3|PAGE3|USE4|PAGE4|USE5|PAGE5}}(When there are up to four other uses – You should generally create a disambiguation page at this point) →{{About|USE1|USE2|PAGE2|USE3|PAGE3|other uses}}(When there are several standard other uses and also a disambiguation page with default name – Note that the last page name is not specified) →This page is about USE1. For USE2, see PAGE2. For USE3, see PAGE3. For other uses, see Hatnote templates documentation (disambiguation).{{About|USE1|USE2|PAGE2|USE3|PAGE3|other uses|PAGE4}}(When there are several standard other uses and also a disambiguation page with non-default name) →{{About|USE1|USE2|PAGE2|USE3|PAGE3|other uses|PAGE4|and}}→This page is about USE1. For USE2, see PAGE2. For USE3, see PAGE3. For other uses, see PAGE4 and Hatnote templates documentation (disambiguation).{{About||USE2|PAGE2|USE3|PAGE3|other uses}}(When you don't need to state the focus of this article/page – Note the empty first parameter) →For USE2, see PAGE2. For USE3, see PAGE3. For other uses, see Hatnote templates documentation (disambiguation).{{About|||PAGE1|and|PAGE2}}→
- Note:
{{for||PAGE1|PAGE2}}produces the same result.
{{Other uses-section|USE}}(disambiguous) →This section is about USE. For other uses, see Hatnote templates documentation (disambiguation).
- Note: this hatnote says "section", instead of "article" or "page".
"See also …"[edit]
{{See also|OTHER TOPIC|OTHER TOPIC2}}→See also: OTHER TOPIC and OTHER TOPIC2
- Note: use when OTHER TOPIC is related to that of the current article and already contains a self-explanatory parenthetical.
{{See also2|[[OTHER TOPIC]]|[[OTHER TOPIC2]]|[[OTHER TOPIC3]] and other 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, see Hatnote templates documentation (disambiguation).{{For|OTHER TOPIC|PAGE1}}→For OTHER TOPIC, see PAGE1.{{For|OTHER TOPIC|PAGE1|PAGE2}}→{{For|OTHER TOPIC|PAGE1|PAGE2|PAGE3}}→{{For||PAGE1|PAGE2}}→
- Variations
As with {{Other uses}}, there are a whole family of "for" templates.
{{For2|OTHER TOPIC|CUSTOM TEXT}}→For OTHER TOPIC, see 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) →For other uses, see Hatnote templates documentation (disambiguation).{{Other uses|PAGE1}}→For other uses, see 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) →For other uses, see PAGE1 (disambiguation).
- Note: adds "(disambiguation)" to whatever is input as the PAGE1.
- Note:
{{Other uses|PAGE1 (disambiguation)}}produces the same result.
{{Two other uses|USE1|USE2|PAGE2}}→This page is about USE1. For USE2, see PAGE2. For other uses, see Hatnote templates documentation (disambiguation).
- Note: same as {{about}}, except it forces a second use to be noted if unspecified by parameters.
{{Two other uses|USE1|USE2|PAGE2|USE3|PAGE3}}→{{Three other uses|USE1|USE2|PAGE2|USE3|PAGE3}}This article is about USE1. For USE2, see PAGE2. For USE3, see PAGE3. For other uses, see Hatnote templates documentation (disambiguation).{{Three other uses||USE2|PAGE2|USE3|PAGE3}}→For USE2, see PAGE2. For USE3, see PAGE3. For other uses, see Hatnote templates documentation (disambiguation).{{Three other uses|USE1|USE2|PAGE2|USE3|PAGE3|USE4|PAGE4}}→This article is about USE1. For USE2, see PAGE2. For USE3, see PAGE3. For USE4, see Hatnote templates documentation (disambiguation).
"For other uses of …, see …"[edit]

"For more details on …, see …"[edit]
{{Details}} can supplement {{Main}} in summary sections, or can indicate more details in nonsummary sections:
{{Details3}} allows any text to links:
{{Details3|[[article 1]], [[article 2]], and [[article 3]]|TOPIC}}→
"… redirects here. For other uses, see …"[edit]
{{Redirect|REDIRECT}}(disambiguous) →"REDIRECT" redirects here. For other uses, see REDIRECT (disambiguation).{{Redirect|REDIRECT||PAGE1}}→"REDIRECT" redirects here. For other uses, see PAGE1.{{Redirect|REDIRECT|USE1|PAGE1}}→"REDIRECT" redirects here. For USE1, see PAGE1.{{Redirect|REDIRECT|USE1|PAGE1|USE2|PAGE2}}→{{Redirect|REDIRECT|USE1|PAGE1|USE2|PAGE2|USE3|PAGE3}}→{{Redirect|REDIRECT|USE1|PAGE1|and|PAGE2}}→{{Redirect|REDIRECT|USE1|PAGE1|USE2|PAGE2|and|PAGE3}}→
- Variations
{{Redirect-synonym|TERM|OTHER TOPIC}}→"TERM" redirects here. TERM may also refer to OTHER TOPIC.{{Redirect2|REDIRECT1|REDIRECT2}}(disambiguous) →"REDIRECT1" and "REDIRECT2" redirect here. For other uses, see REDIRECT1 (disambiguation).{{Redirect2|REDIRECT1|REDIRECT2|USE|PAGE1}}→"REDIRECT1" and "REDIRECT2" redirect here. For USE, see PAGE1.{{Redirect2|REDIRECT1|REDIRECT2|USE1|PAGE1|USE2|PAGE2}}→{{Redirect2|REDIRECT1|REDIRECT2|USE1|PAGE1|USE2|PAGE2|USE3|PAGE3}}→{{Redirect2|REDIRECT1|REDIRECT2|USE1|PAGE1|USE2|PAGE2|USE3|PAGE3|USE4|PAGE4}}→{{Redirect3|REDIRECT|TEXT}}→"REDIRECT" redirects here. TEXT.{{Redirect4|REDIRECT1|REDIRECT2}}(disambiguous) →"REDIRECT1" and "REDIRECT2" redirect here. For other uses, see REDIRECT1 (disambiguation) and REDIRECT2 (disambiguation).{{Redirect6|REDIRECT|USE1|PAGE1}}(disambiguous) →"REDIRECT" redirects here. For USE1, see PAGE1. For other uses, see REDIRECT (disambiguation).{{Redirect6|REDIRECT|USE1|PAGE1||PAGE2}}→{{Redirect7|"REDIRECT1", "REDIRECT2", and "REDIRECT3"|USE1|PAGE1|USE2|PAGE2}}→
- Note: If the number of pages redirecting to the target page is two,
{{Redirect2}}can be used instead. If the number is three and there are three corresponding disambiguation pages,{{Redirect10}}can be used.
{{Redirect10|REDIRECT1|REDIRECT2|REDIRECT3}}(disambiguous) →"REDIRECT1", "REDIRECT2", and "REDIRECT3" redirect here. For other uses, see REDIRECT1 (disambiguation), REDIRECT2 (disambiguation), and REDIRECT3 (disambiguation).

Wikipedia self-reference[edit]
{{Selfref|ANYTEXT}}→ANYTEXT
Further information: Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Self-references to avoid
Categories[edit]
Category-specific templates:
{{Category see also|THIS|THAT|THE OTHER}}→
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.
{{Cat main|MAIN ARTICLE}}→The main article for this category is MAIN ARTICLE.{{Category explanation|colourless green ideas}}→This category is for colourless green ideas.{{Category pair|TOPIC1|TOPIC2}}→See also the preceding Category:TOPIC1 and the succeeding Category:TOPIC2.{{CatPreceding|OTHER TOPIC}}→See also the preceding Category:OTHER TOPIC.{{CatSucceeding|OTHER TOPIC}}→See also the succeeding Category:OTHER TOPIC.{{Contrast|OTHERCAT|OTHERCAT2}}→{{Contrast|OTHERCAT|OTHERCAT2|plural=yes}}→
Family names[edit]
Further information: Category:Hatnote templates for names
Lists[edit]
Further information: Category:Hatnote templates for lists
User pages[edit]
{{This user talk|TOPIC|PAGE1}}→
This is a Wikipedia user talk page. For other uses of TOPIC, see PAGE1.
Notes[edit]
Do not use subst: with these templates, as that will prevent:
- propagating changes as the template is modified; and the
- What links here (WLH) listing.
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.
