Usage
Using {{Hatnote|text}} formats text into the standard stylistic for a Wikipedia hatnote. That produces a short note placed at the top of an article to provide disambiguation of closely related terms or summarise a topic, explaining its boundaries.
Usage and purpose
This template is primarily used to add a correctly formatted hatnote to a page. Often, but not always, this is a disambiguation link at the top of article pages. It places an HTML div-
/ div
block around the text entered as its only argument, which provides standardized formatting (contents are indented and italicized in most displays); it also isolates the contained code to make sure that it is interpreted correctly.
This template is also used as the "meta-template" for additional specialized disambiguation link templates; see Wikipedia:Otheruses templates (example usage) for a list.
The template does not automatically create links of any kind. Links and other desired formatting must be explicitly added, using normal Wikipedia markup.

Hatnote templates
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
- {{Rellink|CUSTOM TEXT}} → CUSTOM TEXT
Other uses (of the 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 (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) →
- {{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) →
- {{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 (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) →
- {{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 (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) →
- {{About|||PAGE1|and|PAGE2}} →
- Note: {{for||PAGE1|PAGE2}} produces the same result.
- {{Other uses-section|USE}} (disambiguous) → Template:Other uses-section
- Note: this hatnote says "section", instead of "article" or "page".
"See also …"
- {{See also|OTHER TOPIC|OTHER TOPIC2}} → Template:See also
- Note: use when OTHER TOPIC is related to that of the current article and already contains a self-explanatory parenthetical.
- {{See also2|[[OTHER TOPIC]]|[[OTHER TOPIC2]]|[[OTHER TOPIC3]] and other text}} → Template:See also2
"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}} (disambiguous) → Template:For
- {{For|OTHER TOPIC|PAGE1}} → Template:For
- {{For|OTHER TOPIC|PAGE1|PAGE2}} → Template:For
- {{For|OTHER TOPIC|PAGE1|PAGE2|PAGE3}} → Template:For
- {{For||PAGE1|PAGE2}} → Template:For
- Variations
As with {{Other uses}}, there are a whole family of "for" templates.
- {{For2|OTHER TOPIC|CUSTOM TEXT}} → Template:For2
"For other uses, see …"
When such a wordy hatnote as {{About}} is not needed, {{Other uses}} is often useful.
- {{Other uses}} (disambiguous) → Template:Other uses
- {{Other uses|PAGE1}} → Template:Other uses
- {{Other uses|PAGE1|PAGE2}} → Template:Other uses
- Variations
There are, historically, a whole family of "other uses" templates for specific cases. {{About}} is the standard hatnote for "other uses" and many of them can be specified using the {{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 {{About}}, {{Other uses}} or {{For}} templates.
- {{Other uses2|PAGE1}} (disambiguous) → Template:Other uses2
- Note: adds "(disambiguation)" to whatever is input as the PAGE1.
- Note: {{Other uses|PAGE1 (disambiguation)}} produces the same result.
- {{Two other uses|USE1|USE2|PAGE2}} → Template:Two other uses
- Note: same as {{about}}, except it forces a second use to be noted if unspecified by parameters.
- {{Two other uses|USE1|USE2|PAGE2|USE3|PAGE3}} → Template:Two other uses
- {{Three other uses|USE1|USE2|PAGE2|USE3|PAGE3}} Template:Three other uses
- {{Three other uses||USE2|PAGE2|USE3|PAGE3}} → Template:Three other uses
- {{Three other uses|USE1|USE2|PAGE2|USE3|PAGE3|USE4|PAGE4}} → Template:Three other uses
"For other uses of …, see …"
- {{Other uses of}} (disambiguous) → Template:Other uses of
- {{Other uses of|TOPIC}} (disambiguous) → Template:Other uses of
- {{Other uses of|TOPIC|PAGE1}} → Template:Other uses of
"For more details on …, see …"
{{Details}} is used to make summary style explicit. To be used in a section for which there is also a separate article on the subject.
- {{Details|Article|TOPIC}} → Template:Details
{{Details3}} allows any text to links:
- {{Details3|[[article 1]], [[article 2]], and [[article 3]]|TOPIC}} → Template:Details3

- {{Redirect|REDIRECT|USE1|PAGE1|and|PAGE2}} → Template:Redirect
- {{Redirect|REDIRECT|USE1|PAGE1|USE2|PAGE2|and|PAGE3}} → Template:Redirect
- Variations
- {{Redirect-synonym|TERM|OTHER TOPIC}} → Template:Redirect-synonym
- {{Redirect2|REDIRECT1|REDIRECT2}} (disambiguous) → Template:Redirect2
- {{Redirect2|REDIRECT1|REDIRECT2|USE|PAGE1}} → Template:Redirect2

- {{Redirect6|REDIRECT|USE1|PAGE1||PAGE2}} → Template:Redirect6
- {{Redirect7|"REDIRECT1", "REDIRECT2", and "REDIRECT3"|USE1|PAGE1|USE2|PAGE2}} → Template:Redirect7
- Note: If the number of pages redirecting to the target page is two, {{Redirect2}} can be used instead. If the number is three and there are three corresponding disambiguation pages, {{Redirect10}} can be used.
- {{Redirect10|REDIRECT1|REDIRECT2|REDIRECT3}} (disambiguous) → Template:Redirect10
- ... Not to be confused with ...
- {{Redirect-distinguish|REDIRECT|PAGE1}} → Template:Redirect-distinguish

Categories
Category-specific templates produce bold category names.
- {{Category see also|THIS|THAT|THE OTHER}} → Template:Category see also
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.
- {{CatPreceding|OTHER TOPIC}} → Template:CatPreceding
- {{CatSucceeding|OTHER TOPIC}} → Template:CatSucceeding
- {{Category pair|TOPIC1|TOPIC2}} → Template:Category pair

- {{Contrast|OTHERCAT|OTHERCAT2|pluralTemplate:=yes}} → Template:Contrast
Family names
Lists
User pages
- {{This user talk|TOPIC|PAGE1}} →
Notes
Do not use subst: with these templates, as that will prevent:
- propagating changes as the template is modified; and the
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.
