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

{{hatnote|For other senses of this term, see [[etc…]]}} →

For other senses of this term, see etc…

• {{rellink|CUSTOM TEXT}} →
  CUSTOM TEXT

Other uses (of the 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}} → Skantlyn:About
• {{about|USE1||PAGE2}} (When the disambiguation page has a different name – Note the empty second parameter) → Skantlyn:About
• {{about|USE1|USE2|PAGE2}} (When there is only one other use) → Skantlyn:About
• {{about|USE1|USE2|PAGE2|and|PAGE3}} (Two pages for USE2) → Skantlyn:About
• {{about|USE1|USE2|PAGE2#SUBSECTIONSkantlyn:TlfPAGE2TITLE}} (Using the {{!}} template to give the link a different title) → Skantlyn:About
• {{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) → Skantlyn:About
• {{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) → Skantlyn:About
• {{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) →Skantlyn:About
• {{about|USE1|USE2|PAGE2|USE3|PAGE3|other uses|PAGE4|and}} → Skantlyn:About
• {{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) → Skantlyn:About
• {{about|||PAGE1|and|PAGE2}} → Skantlyn:About

Note: {{for||PAGE1|PAGE2}} produces the same result.

• {{other uses-section|USE}} (disambiguous) → Skantlyn:Other uses-section

Note: this hatnote says "section", instead of "article" or "page".

"See also …"

• {{see also|OTHER TOPIC|OTHER TOPIC2}} → Skantlyn:See also

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}} → Skantlyn:See also2

"For …, see …"

{{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 For2 (disambiguation).
• {{for|OTHER TOPIC|PAGE1}} →
  For OTHER TOPIC, see PAGE1.
• {{for|OTHER TOPIC|PAGE1|PAGE2}} →
  For OTHER TOPIC, see PAGE1 and PAGE2.
• {{for|OTHER TOPIC|PAGE1|PAGE2|PAGE3}} →
  For OTHER TOPIC, see PAGE1, PAGE2, and 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 …"

When such a wordy hatnote as {{About}} is not needed, {{Other uses}} is often useful.

• {{other uses}} (disambiguous) → Skantlyn:Other uses
• {{other uses|PAGE1}} → Skantlyn:Other uses
• {{other uses|PAGE1|PAGE2}} → Skantlyn:Other uses

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) → Skantlyn:Other uses2

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}} → Skantlyn:Two other uses

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}} → Skantlyn:Two other uses
• {{three other uses|USE1|USE2|PAGE2|USE3|PAGE3}} Skantlyn:Three other uses
• {{three other uses||USE2|PAGE2|USE3|PAGE3}} → Skantlyn:Three other uses
• {{three other uses|USE1|USE2|PAGE2|USE3|PAGE3|USE4|PAGE4}} → Skantlyn:Three other uses

"For other uses of …, see …"

• {{other uses of}} (disambiguous) → Skantlyn:Other uses of
• {{other uses of|TOPIC}} (disambiguous) → Skantlyn:Other uses of
• {{other uses of|TOPIC|PAGE1}} → Skantlyn:Other uses of

"For more details on …, see …"

{{details}} is used to make summary style explicit. To be used in a section for which there is also a separate article on the subject.

• {{details|Article|TOPIC}} → Skantlyn:Details

{{Details3}} allows any text to links:

• {{details3|[[article 1]], [[article 2]], and [[article 3]]|TOPIC}} → Skantlyn:Details3

"… redirects here. For other uses, see …"

• {{redirect|REDIRECT}} (disambiguous) →
  "REDIRECT" redirects here. For other uses, see REDIRECT (disambiguation).

  "REDIRECT" redirects here. For USE1, see PAGE1. For USE2, see PAGE2.
• {{redirect|REDIRECT|USE1|PAGE1|USE2|PAGE2|USE3|PAGE3}} →
  "REDIRECT" redirects here. For USE1, see PAGE1. For USE2, see PAGE2. For USE3, see PAGE3.
• {{redirect|REDIRECT|USE1|PAGE1|and|PAGE2}} →
  "REDIRECT" redirects here. For USE1, see PAGE1 and PAGE2.
• {{redirect|REDIRECT|USE1|PAGE1|USE2|PAGE2|and|PAGE3}} →

Wikipedia self-reference

Categories

Category-specific templates produce bold category names.

• {{category see also|THIS|THAT|THE OTHER}} → Skantlyn:Category see also

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}} → Skantlyn:Cat main
• {{CatPreceding|OTHER TOPIC}} → Skantlyn:CatPreceding
• {{CatSucceeding|OTHER TOPIC}} → Skantlyn:CatSucceeding
• {{category pair|TOPIC1|TOPIC2}} → Skantlyn:Category pair
• {{contrast|OTHERCAT|OTHERCAT2}} → Skantlyn:Contrast
• {{contrast|OTHERCAT|OTHERCAT2|plural=yes}} → Skantlyn:Contrast

User pages

• {{this user talk|TOPIC|PAGE1}} →
  

Notes

Do not use subst: with these templates, as that will prevent:

1. propagating changes as the template is modified; and the
2. 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:

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
