Hatnote templates
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
{{Hatnote|CUSTOM TEXT}}→CUSTOM TEXT
More pages on the same topic ("Further information ...")
"For more details on …, see …"
{{Details}} can indicate more details in nonsummary sections:
{{Details|PAGE1}}→
- For more details on this topic, see PAGE1.
{{Details|PAGE1|TOPIC}}→
- For more details on TOPIC, see PAGE1.
Other uses of the same title
"This page is about … For other uses …"
{{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/doc/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/doc/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/doc/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/doc/Hatnote Templates Documentation (disambiguation).{{About|||PAGE1|and|PAGE2}}→
Notes
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.
