{{tlx|Main}} is used to make [[Wikipedia:Summary style|summary style]] explicit, when used in a summary section for which there is also a separate article on the subject:
* {{tlx|Main|Main Article}} → {{Main|Main Article}}
* {{tlx|Main|Main Article|Article2}} → {{Main|Main Article|Article2}}
* {{tlx|Main list|Article1}} → {{Mainlist|Article1}}

:Note: {{tlx|for|<nowiki>|</nowiki>PAGE1|PAGE2}} produces the same result.
* {{tlx|Other uses-section|USE}} (disambiguous) → {{Other uses-section|USE}}
:Note: this hatnote says "section", instead of "article" or "page".
===="''For …, see …''"====
{{tl|For}} can be used instead of {{tl|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 {{tl|About}} as in:
:''For example'': {{tlx|for|OTHER TOPIC|PAGE1}} is the same as {{tlx|About|<nowiki>|</nowiki>OTHER TOPIC|PAGE1}} (note the empty first parameter).<br>
However, it is somewhat clearer when using the {{tl|For}} template, since the word "about" does not appear in the statement.
* {{tlx|For|OTHER TOPIC}} (disambiguous) → {{For|OTHER TOPIC}}
* {{tlx|For|OTHER TOPIC|PAGE1}} → {{For|OTHER TOPIC|PAGE1}}
* {{tlx|For|OTHER TOPIC|PAGE1|PAGE2}} → {{For|OTHER TOPIC|PAGE1|PAGE2}}
* {{tlx|For|OTHER TOPIC|PAGE1|PAGE2|PAGE3}} → {{For|OTHER TOPIC|PAGE1|PAGE2|PAGE3}}
* {{tlx|For|<nowiki>|</nowiki>PAGE1|PAGE2}} → {{For||PAGE1|PAGE2}}
;Variations
As with {{tl|Other uses}}, there is a whole family of "for" templates.{{clarify|date=March 2013}}
* {{tlx|For2|OTHER TOPIC|CUSTOM TEXT}} → {{For2|OTHER TOPIC|CUSTOM TEXT}}
===="''For other uses, see …''"====
When such a wordy hatnote as {{tl|About}} is not needed, {{tl|Other uses}} is often useful.
* {{tlx|Other uses}} (disambiguous) → {{Other uses}}
* {{tlx|Other uses|PAGE1}} → {{Other uses|PAGE1}}
* {{tlx|Other uses|PAGE1|PAGE2}} → {{Other uses|PAGE1|PAGE2}}
;Variations
There are, historically, a whole family of "other uses" templates for specific cases. {{tl|About}} is the standard hatnote for "other uses" and many of them can be specified using the {{tl|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 {{tl|About}}, {{tl|Other uses}} or {{tl|For}} templates.
* {{tlx|Other uses2|PAGE1}} (disambiguous) → {{Other uses2|PAGE1}}
:Note: adds "(disambiguation)" to whatever is input as the PAGE1.
:Note: {{tlx|Other uses|PAGE1 (disambiguation)}} produces the same result.
* {{tlx|Two other uses|USE1|USE2|PAGE2}} → {{Two other uses|USE1|USE2|PAGE2}}
:Note: same as {{tl|about}}, except it forces a second use to be noted if unspecified by parameters.
* {{tlx|Two other uses|USE1|USE2|PAGE2|USE3|PAGE3}} → {{Two other uses|USE1|USE2|PAGE2|USE3|PAGE3}}
* {{tlx|Three other uses|USE1|USE2|PAGE2|USE3|PAGE3}} {{Three other uses|USE1|USE2|PAGE2|USE3|PAGE3}}

* {{tlx|Three other uses|USE1|USE2|PAGE2|USE3|PAGE3|USE4|PAGE4}} → {{Three other uses|USE1|USE2|PAGE2|USE3|PAGE3|USE4|PAGE4}}

* {{tlx|Other uses of|TOPIC}} (disambiguous) → {{Other uses of|TOPIC}}

===Categories===
Category-specific templates:
* {{tlx|Category see also|THIS|THAT|THE OTHER}} → {{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.
* {{tlx|Cat main|MAIN ARTICLE}} → {{Cat main|MAIN ARTICLE}}
* {{tlx|Category explanation|colourless green ideas}} → {{Category explanation|colourless green ideas}}
* {{tlx|Category pair|TOPIC1|TOPIC2}} → {{Category pair|TOPIC1|TOPIC2}}

Hatnote templates

Overview of hatnote templates: view · talk · edit

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}} →
    CUSTOM TEXT
{{Hatnote|For other senses of this term, see [[etc…]]}} →
For other senses of this term, see etc…

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

"For more details on …, see …"

{{Details}} can indicate more details in nonsummary sections:

For more details on this topic, see PAGE1.
For more details on TOPIC, see PAGE1.


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}} →
    This page is about USE1. For other uses, see Hatnote Templates Documentation (disambiguation).
  • {{About|USE1||PAGE2}} (When the disambiguation page has a different name – Note the empty second parameter) →
    This page is about USE1. For other uses, see PAGE2.
  • {{About|USE1|USE2|PAGE2}} (When there is only one other use) →
    This page is about USE1. For USE2, see PAGE2.
  • {{About|USE1|USE2|PAGE2|and|PAGE3}} (Two pages for USE2) →
    This page is about USE1. For USE2, see PAGE2 and PAGE3.
  • {{About|USE1|USE2|PAGE2#SUBSECTION{{!}}PAGE2TITLE}} (Using the {{!}} template to give the link a different title) →
    This page is about USE1. For USE2, see PAGE2TITLE.
  • {{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) →
    This page is about USE1. For USE2, see PAGE2. For USE3, see PAGE3. For USE4, see PAGE4. For USE5, see PAGE5.
  • {{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) →
    This page is about USE1. For USE2, see PAGE2. For USE3, see PAGE3. For other uses, see Hatnote Templates Documentation (disambiguation).
  • {{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) →
    This page is about USE1. For USE2, see PAGE2. For USE3, see PAGE3. For other uses, see PAGE4.
  • {{About|USE1|USE2|PAGE2|USE3|PAGE3|other uses|PAGE4|and}} →
    This page is about USE1. For USE2, see PAGE2. For USE3, see PAGE3. For other uses, see PAGE4 and Hatnote Templates Documentation (disambiguation).
  • {{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) →
    For USE2, see PAGE2. For USE3, see PAGE3. For other uses, see Hatnote Templates Documentation (disambiguation).
  • {{About|||PAGE1|and|PAGE2}} →
    For other uses, see PAGE1 and PAGE2.

Notes

Do not use subst: with these templates, as that will prevent:

  1. propagating changes as the template is modified; and the
  2. What links here (WLH) listing.

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.
