Usage

Using {{Hatnote|text formats text into the standard stylistic for a Wikipedia hatnote. That produces a short note placed at the top of an article to provide disambiguation of closely related terms or summarise a topic, explaining its boundaries.

Function sunting This template is primarily used to add a correctly formatted hatnote to a page. Often, but not always, this is a disambiguation link at the top of article pages. It places an HTML div- / div block around the text entered as its only argument, which provides standardized formatting (contents are indented and italicized in most displays); it also isolates the contained code to make sure that it is interpreted correctly. This template is also used as the "meta-template" for additional specialized disambiguation link templates; see Wikipedia:Otheruses templates (example usage) for a list. The template does not automatically create links of any kind. Links and other desired formatting must be explicitly added, using normal Wikipedia markup. Code sunting <div class="dablink"></div> Redirects sunting {{Dablink}} Hatnote templates sunting Templat:Navbar Shortcut: T:HAT 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 sunting {{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) sunting "This page is about … For other uses …" sunting {{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 → Templat:About {{About|USE1||PAGE2 (When the disambiguation page has a different name – Note the empty second parameter) → Templat:About {{About|USE1|USE2|PAGE2 (When there is only one other use) → Templat:About {{About|USE1|USE2|PAGE2|and|PAGE3 (Two pages for USE2) → Templat:About {{About|USE1|USE2|PAGE2#SUBSECTION{{!}}PAGE2TITLE (Using the {{!}} template to give the link a different title) → Templat:About {{About|USE1|USE2|PAGE2|USE3|PAGE3|USE4|PAGE4|USE5 (When there are up to four other uses – You should generally create a disambiguation page at this point) → Templat: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) → Templat: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) →Templat:About {{About|USE1|USE2|PAGE2|USE3|PAGE3|other uses|PAGE4|and → Templat: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) → Templat:About {{About|||PAGE1|and|PAGE2 → Templat:About Note: {{for||PAGE1|PAGE2 produces the same result. {{Other uses-section|USE (disambiguous) → Templat:Other uses-section Note: this hatnote says "section", instead of "article" or "page". "See also …" sunting {{See also|OTHER TOPIC|OTHER TOPIC2 → Templat: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 → Templat:See also2 "For …, see …" sunting {{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 (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 → For other uses, see PAGE1 and PAGE2. Variations As with {{Other uses}}, there are a whole family of "for" templates. {{For2|OTHER TOPIC|CUSTOM TEXT → Templat:For2 "For other uses, see …" sunting When such a wordy hatnote as {{About}} is not needed, {{Other uses}} is often useful. {{Other uses (disambiguous) → Templat:Other uses {{Other uses|PAGE1 → Templat:Other uses {{Other uses|PAGE1|PAGE2 → Templat: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) → Templat: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 → Templat: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 → Templat:Two other uses {{Three other uses|USE1|USE2|PAGE2|USE3|PAGE3 Templat:Three other uses {{Three other uses||USE2|PAGE2|USE3|PAGE3 → Templat:Three other uses {{Three other uses|USE1|USE2|PAGE2|USE3|PAGE3|USE4|PAGE4 → Templat:Three other uses "For other uses of …, see …" sunting {{Other uses of (disambiguous) → Templat:Other uses of {{Other uses of|TOPIC (disambiguous) → Templat:Other uses of {{Other uses of|TOPIC|PAGE1 → Templat:Other uses of "For more details on …, see …" sunting {{Details can supplement {{Main in summary sections, or can indicate more details in nonsummary sections: {{Details|Article|TOPIC → Templat:Details {{Details3}} allows any text to links: {{Details3|[[article 1]], [[article 2]], and [[article 3]]|TOPIC → Templat:Details3 "… redirects here.

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. See also sunting Wikipedia:Hatnote Category:Hatnote templates Templat:Navbox hatnote templates
