Usage

{{Selfref}} is a template that is used to mark pieces of text and links that wouldn't make sense in reuses of Wikipedia article content elsewhere: see Wikipedia:Self-references to avoid. This template should not be substituted.

In most cases, {{Selfref}} is used to create a disambiguation link to a page in the "Wikipedia:" namespace from article-space; for instance, the page Objectivity (disambiguation) could have a self-referential "hatnote" link at the top: {{Selfref|For Wikipedia's policy on avoiding bias, see [[Wikipedia:Neutral point of view]].}}.

When using {{Selfref}} in this way, use the following format:

{{Selfref|the self-referential notice to display, including links}}

which produces:

the self-referential notice to display, including links

When using {{Selfref}} in this way, the text will be indented slightly, italicized (Wikipedia house style for self-referential notes), and both preceded and followed by a linebreak.

To use it inline without the indentation and line break, add the parameter |inline:

{{Selfref|the self-referential text to display, including links|inline}}

which produces:
the self-referential text to display, including links
