• {{details}}: A derivative of {{for}} that forces the opening sentence to be displayed as "For more details..."
• {{for}}: Enables any description to be given for the reason to want to link to up to four other pages.
• {{further}}: Mainly for linking to more detailed articles and pages typically places before the shortened description, but could be placed after if necessary.

• {{See also}} (not yet copied from Wikipedia): It can be created manually with {{hatnote}}.
