| Page description | 1 | What the page this template is placed on is about ("This page is about …") | String | required |
| Other page 1 description | 2 | What the first other page is about. If unused or blank, defaults to "For other uses". | String | optional |
| Other page 1 title | 3 | The title of the first other page. If unused, defaults to "[page title] (disambiguation)". | String | optional |
| Other page 2 description | 4 | What the second other page is about. If unused or blank, defaults to "For other uses". | String | optional |

Other hatnote templates
The following templates are considered part of the Hatnote template family, used typically at the top of a page, but can be used as needed.
- {{about}}: To differentiate this page from other similar topics or the disambiguation page of the same base page name.
- {{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.
- {{hatnote}}: This is the core of the other templates. It simply places text on the page in italics with a paragraph indent.
- {{See also}} (not yet copied from Wikipedia): It can be created manually with
{{hatnote}}.
