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.
-

Categories
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.

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:
- 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.
