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}}Lua error: Internal error: The interpreter exited with status 127.
{{Hatnote|For other senses of this term, see [[etc…]]}}Lua error: Internal error: The interpreter exited with status 127.

More pages on the same topic ("Further information ...")

"Main article: …"

{{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:

  • {{Main|Main Article}}Lua error: Internal error: The interpreter exited with status 127.
  • {{Main|Main Article|Article2}}Lua error: Internal error: The interpreter exited with status 127.
  • {{Main list|Article1}}Lua error: Internal error: The interpreter exited with status 127.

"For more details on …, see …"

{{Details}} can supplement {{Main}} in summary sections, or can indicate more details in nonsummary sections:

  • {{Details|PAGE1}}Lua error: Internal error: The interpreter exited with status 127.
  • {{Details|PAGE1|TOPIC}}Lua error: Internal error: The interpreter exited with status 127.

{{Details3}} allows changing the displayed name for links. Unlike {{Details}}, it requires bracketed link notation:

  • {{Details3|[[NTSC#Color_encoding|NTSC Color encoding]]}}Lua error: Internal error: The interpreter exited with status 127.
  • {{Details3|[[article 1|Article 1]], [[article 2|Article 2]], and [[article 3|Article 3]]|TOPIC}}Lua error: Internal error: The interpreter exited with status 127.

Alternatively, the {{!}} template can be used to change the displayed name for links:

  • {{Details|NTSC#Color_encoding{{!}}NTSC Color encoding}}Lua error: Internal error: The interpreter exited with status 127.

"See also …"

  • {{See also|TOPIC PAGE|OTHER TOPIC PAGE}}Lua error: Internal error: The interpreter exited with status 127.
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}}Lua error: Internal error: The interpreter exited with status 127.

"Further information: …"

  • {{Further|PAGE}}Lua error: Internal error: The interpreter exited with status 127.
  • {{Further|PAGE1|PAGE2|PAGE3}}Lua error: Internal error: The interpreter exited with status 127.
  • {{Further2|[[PAGE1]], [[PAGE2]], and [[PAGE#3|PAGE3]]}}Lua error: Internal error: The interpreter exited with status 127.

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}}Lua error: Internal error: The interpreter exited with status 127.
  • {{About|USE1||PAGE2}} (When the disambiguation page has a different name – Note the empty second parameter) → Lua error: Internal error: The interpreter exited with status 127.
  • {{About|USE1|USE2|PAGE2}} (When there is only one other use) → Lua error: Internal error: The interpreter exited with status 127.
  • {{About|USE1|USE2|PAGE2|and|PAGE3}} (Two pages for USE2) → Lua error: Internal error: The interpreter exited with status 127.
  • {{About|USE1|USE2|PAGE2#SUBSECTION{{!}}PAGE2TITLE}} (Using the {{!}} template to give the link a different title) → Lua error: Internal error: The interpreter exited with status 127.
  • {{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) → Lua error: Internal error: The interpreter exited with status 127.
  • {{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) → Lua error: Internal error: The interpreter exited with status 127.
  • {{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) →Lua error: Internal error: The interpreter exited with status 127.
  • {{About|USE1|USE2|PAGE2|USE3|PAGE3|other uses|PAGE4|and}}Lua error: Internal error: The interpreter exited with status 127.
  • {{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) → Lua error: Internal error: The interpreter exited with status 127.
  • {{About|||PAGE1|and|PAGE2}}Lua error: Internal error: The interpreter exited with status 127.
Note: {{for||PAGE1|PAGE2}} produces the same result.
  • {{About|USE1|section=yes}}Lua error: Internal error: The interpreter exited with status 127.
Note: this hatnote says "section", instead of "article" or "page".

"This page is about … It is not to be confused with …"

{{About-distinguish}} is a template for noting other uses when there could be confusion with another topic.

  • {{About-distinguish|USE1|PAGE1}}Lua error: Internal error: The interpreter exited with status 127.
  • {{About-distinguish2|USE1|TEXT}}Lua error: Internal error: The interpreter exited with status 127.

"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) → Lua error: Internal error: The interpreter exited with status 127.
  • {{For|OTHER TOPIC|PAGE1}}Lua error: Internal error: The interpreter exited with status 127.
  • {{For|OTHER TOPIC|PAGE1|PAGE2}}Lua error: Internal error: The interpreter exited with status 127.
  • {{For|OTHER TOPIC|PAGE1|PAGE2|PAGE3}}Lua error: Internal error: The interpreter exited with status 127.
  • {{For||PAGE1|PAGE2}}Lua error: Internal error: The interpreter exited with status 127.
Variations

As with {{Other uses}}, there is a whole family of "for" templates.Lua error: Internal error: The interpreter exited with status 127.

  • {{For2|OTHER TOPIC|CUSTOM TEXT}}Lua error: Internal error: The interpreter exited with status 127.

"For other uses, see …"

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

  • {{Other uses}} (disambiguous) → Lua error: Internal error: The interpreter exited with status 127.
  • {{Other uses|PAGE1}}Lua error: Internal error: The interpreter exited with status 127.
  • {{Other uses|PAGE1|PAGE2}}Lua error: Internal error: The interpreter exited with status 127.
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) → Lua error: Internal error: The interpreter exited with status 127.
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}}Lua error: Internal error: The interpreter exited with status 127.
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}}Lua error: Internal error: The interpreter exited with status 127.
  • {{Three other uses|USE1|USE2|PAGE2|USE3|PAGE3}} Lua error: Internal error: The interpreter exited with status 127.
  • {{Three other uses||USE2|PAGE2|USE3|PAGE3}}Lua error: Internal error: The interpreter exited with status 127.
  • {{Three other uses|USE1|USE2|PAGE2|USE3|PAGE3|USE4|PAGE4}}Lua error: Internal error: The interpreter exited with status 127.

"For other uses of …, see …"

Categories

Category-specific templates:

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

Lua error: Internal error: The interpreter exited with status 127.

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.
