Other uses[edit source]
"This page is about ... For other uses ..."[edit source]
{{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) →
- {{About|USE1|USE2|PAGE2|USE3|PAGE3|USE4|PAGE4|USE5|PAGE5}} (When there are up to five 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 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) →
- {{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}} →
- Note: {{for||PAGE1|PAGE2}} produces the same result.
- {{This|USE}} →
- Note: {{About|USE}} produces the same result: → This page is about USE. For other uses, see Hatnote templates documentation (disambiguation).
- {{This|USE|PAGE1}} →
- Note: {{About|USE||PAGE1}} (with one empty parameter) produces the same result: → This page is about USE. For other uses, see PAGE1.
- {{Other uses-section|USE}} (disambiguous) →
- Note: this hatnote says "section", instead of "article" or "page".
"For other uses, see ..."[edit source]
When such a wordy hatnote as {{About}} is not needed, {{Other uses}} is often useful.
- {{Other uses}} (disambiguous) → For other uses, see Hatnote templates documentation (disambiguation).
- {{Other uses|PAGE1}} → For other uses, see PAGE1.
- 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) →
- 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}} →
- 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}} →
- tlx Three other uses USE1 USE2 PAGE2 USE3 PAGE3 Three other uses USE1 USE2 PAGE2 USE3 PAGE3
- tlx Three other uses||USE2|PAGE2|USE3|PAGE3 → Three other uses 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
"For ..., see ..."[edit source]
{{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) → For OTHER TOPIC, see Hatnote templates documentation (disambiguation).
- {{For|OTHER TOPIC|PAGE1}} → For OTHER TOPIC, see PAGE1.
- {{For|OTHER TOPIC|PAGE1|PAGE2}} →
- {{For|OTHER TOPIC|PAGE1|PAGE2|PAGE3}} →
- {{For||PAGE1|PAGE2}} →
- Variations
As with {{Other uses}}, there are a whole family of "for" templates.
- tlx For2 OTHER TOPIC CUSTOM TEXT → For2 OTHER TOPIC CUSTOM TEXT
- {{For example|Pagename|Piped link name}} →
"For other uses of ..., see ..."[edit source]
- {{Other uses of}} (disambiguous) →
- {{Other uses of|TOPIC}} (disambiguous) →
- {{Other uses of|TOPIC|PAGE1}} →
"For more details on ..., see ..."[edit source]
{{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}} →
- For more details on TOPIC, see Article.
{{Details3}} allows any text to links:
- {{Details3|[[article 1]], [[article 2]], and [[article 3]]|TOPIC}} →
"Further information: ..."[edit source]
- {{See|OTHER TOPIC}} → Further information: OTHER TOPIC
Example with multiple parameters
- {{See|Iraq and weapons of mass destruction|Saddam Hussein and al-Qaeda|Downing Street memo|Bush-Blair memo}} → Further information: Iraq and weapons of mass destruction, Saddam Hussein and al-Qaeda, Downing Street memo, and Bush-Blair memo
- {{Further|[[Article 1]], [[Article 2]], and [[Article Something#3|Article 3]]}} →
This template takes a single parameter of any length.
"See also ..."[edit source]
- {{See also|OTHER TOPIC}} → See also: OTHER TOPIC
- Note: use when OTHER TOPIC is related to that of the current article and already contains a self-explanatory parenthetical.
- {{See also2|OTHER TOPIC and other text}} →

- {{Redirect7|"REDIRECT1", "REDIRECT2", and "REDIRECT3"|USE1|PAGE1|USE2|PAGE2}} →
- 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.

FamilySearch Wiki self-reference[edit source]
- {{Selfref|ANYTEXT}} → ANYTEXT
- Note: used for hatnotes that don't make sense on mirrors of FamilySearch Wiki, such as linking an article from the main namespace to the FamilySearch Wiki namespace. (See: Manual of Style (self-references to avoid) for more details).
Categories[edit source]
Category-specific templates produce bold category names.
- {{Category see also|THIS|THAT|THE OTHER}} →
- {{Related category|CAT2}} →
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}} →
- {{CatSucceeding|OTHER TOPIC}} →
- {{Category pair|TOPIC1|TOPIC2}} →
Notes[edit source]
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 {{dablink}} instead? Before creating a new template, see: 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.
