Hatnote templates
For the full editing guideline on hatnotes, see Wikipedia:Hatnote.
Generic
{{Hatnote|CUSTOM TEXT}}→CUSTOM TEXT
{{Hatnote|For other senses of this term, see [[SITENAME]]}}→For other senses of this term, see SITENAME
If a hatnote link leads to a disambiguation page without providing the "(disambiguation)" parameter, this parameter must be added manually. This indicates that the disambiguation link is intentional, and not an error (see WP:INTDABLINK for details):
{{Hatnote|For other senses of this term, see [[Page (disambiguation){{!}}Page]]}}→For other senses of this term, see Page
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:
"Further information: …"
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|WLAN}}→This page is about WLAN. For other uses, see Redirect/doc (disambiguation).{{About|Mail||WLAN}}(When the disambiguation page has a different name – Note the empty second parameter) →This page is about Mail. For other uses, see WLAN.{{About|USE1|USE2|WLAN}}(When there is only one other use) →This page is about USE1. For USE2, see WLAN.{{About|USE1|USE2|WLAN|and|Mail}}(Two pages for USE2) →{{About|USE1|USE2|WLAN#SUBSECTION{{!}}eduroam}}(Using the {{!}} magic word to give the link a different title) →This page is about USE1. For USE2, see eduroam.{{About|USE1|USE2|WLAN|USE3|Mail|USE4|Netzwerkspeicher|USE5|MSOPB}}(When there are up to four other uses – You should generally create a disambiguation page at this point) →This page is about USE1. For USE2, see WLAN. For USE3, see Mail. For USE4, see Netzwerkspeicher. For USE5, see MSOPB.{{About|USE1|USE2|WLAN|USE3|Mail|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 WLAN. For USE3, see Mail. For other uses, see Redirect/doc (disambiguation).{{About|USE1|USE2|WLAN|USE3|Mail|other uses|Netzwerkspeicher}}(When there are several standard other uses and also a disambiguation page with non-default name) →This page is about USE1. For USE2, see WLAN. For USE3, see Mail. For other uses, see Netzwerkspeicher.{{About|USE1|USE2|WLAN|USE3|Mail|other uses|Netzwerkspeicher|and}}→This page is about USE1. For USE2, see WLAN. For USE3, see Mail. For other uses, see Netzwerkspeicher and Redirect/doc (disambiguation).{{About||USE2|WLAN|USE3|Mail|other uses}}(When you don't need to state the focus of this article/page – Note the empty first parameter) →{{About|||WLAN|and|Mail}}→
- Note:
{{for||WLAN|Mail}}produces the same result.
{{About|USE1|section=yes}}→This section is about USE1. For other uses, see Redirect/doc (disambiguation).
- Note: this hatnote says "section", instead of "article" or "page".
"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}}→For OTHER TOPIC, see Redirect/doc (disambiguation).{{For|OTHER TOPIC|WLAN}}→For OTHER TOPIC, see WLAN.{{For|OTHER TOPIC|WLAN|Mail}}→{{For|OTHER TOPIC|WLAN|Mail|Netzwerkspeicher}}→{{For||WLAN|Mail}}→
"… redirects here. For other uses, see …"
{{Redirect|REDIRECT}}→"REDIRECT" redirects here. For other uses, see REDIRECT (disambiguation).{{Redirect|REDIRECT||WLAN}}→"REDIRECT" redirects here. For other uses, see WLAN.{{Redirect|REDIRECT|USE1|WLAN}}→"REDIRECT" redirects here. For USE1, see WLAN.{{Redirect|REDIRECT|USE1|WLAN|USE2|Mail}}→{{Redirect|REDIRECT|USE1|WLAN|USE2|Mail|USE3|Netzwerkspeicher}}→{{Redirect|REDIRECT|USE1|WLAN|and|Mail}}→{{Redirect|REDIRECT|USE1|WLAN|USE2|Mail|and|Netzwerkspeicher}}→

{{Redirect3|REDIRECT|TEXT}}→"REDIRECT" redirects here. TEXT.

Notes
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:
- 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.
