| ==Hatnote templates==
| |
| For a summary page on how to use these templates, see [[Wikipedia:HATTEST|the example page here]]. For the full editing guideline on hatnotes, see [[Wikipedia:Hatnote]].
| |
| | |
| ===Generic===
| |
| * {{tlx|Hatnote|CUSTOM TEXT}} → {{Hatnote|CUSTOM TEXT}}
| |
| :{{tlx|Hatnote|For other senses of this term, see <nowiki>[[</nowiki>etc…<nowiki>]]</nowiki>}} → {{Hatnote|For other senses of this term, see [[etc…]]}}
| |
| | |
| ===More pages on the same topic ("''Further information ...''")===
| |
| | |
| ===="''Main article: …''"====
| |
| {{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}}
| |
| | |
| ===="''For more details on …, see …''"====
| |
| {{tlx|Details}} can supplement {{tlx|Main}} in summary sections, or can indicate more details in nonsummary sections:
| |
| * {{tlx|Details|PAGE1}} → {{Details|PAGE1}}
| |
| | |
| * {{tlx|Details|PAGE1|TOPIC}} → {{Details|PAGE1|TOPIC}}
| |
| | |
| {{tlx|Details3}} allows changing the displayed name for links. Unlike {{tlx|Details}}, it requires bracketed link notation:
| |
| * {{tlx|Details3|<nowiki>[[NTSC#Color_encoding|NTSC Color encoding]]</nowiki>}} → {{Details3|[[NTSC#Color_encoding|NTSC Color encoding]]}}
| |
| * {{tlx|Details3|<nowiki>[[article 1|Article 1]], [[article 2|Article 2]], and [[article 3|Article 3]]</nowiki>|TOPIC}} → {{Details3|[[Article 1]], [[Article 2]], and [[Article 3]]|TOPIC}}
| |
| | |
| Alternatively, the {{tlx|!}} template can be used to change the displayed name for links:
| |
| * {{tlx|Details|NTSC#Color_encoding<nowiki>{{!}}</nowiki>NTSC Color encoding}} → {{Details|NTSC#Color_encoding{{!}}NTSC Color encoding}}
| |
| | |
| ===="''See also …''"====
| |
| * {{tlx|See also|TOPIC PAGE|OTHER TOPIC PAGE}} → {{See also|TOPIC PAGE|OTHER TOPIC PAGE}}
| |
| :Note: use ''only'' when OTHER TOPIC PAGE is ''related'' to current article and contains a self-explanatory parenthetical.
| |
| | |
| * {{tlx|See also2|<nowiki>[[OTHER TOPIC]]|[[OTHER TOPIC2]]|[[OTHER TOPIC3]] and other text</nowiki>}} → {{See also2|[[OTHER TOPIC]]|[[OTHER TOPIC2]]|[[OTHER TOPIC3]] and other text}}
| |
| | |
| ===="''Further information: …''"====
| |
| * {{tlx|Further|PAGE}} → {{Further|PAGE}}
| |
| * {{tlx|Further|PAGE1|PAGE2|PAGE3}} → {{Further|PAGE1|PAGE2|PAGE3}}
| |
| * {{tlx|Further2|<nowiki>[[PAGE1]], [[PAGE2]], and [[PAGE#3|PAGE3]]</nowiki>}} → {{Further2|[[PAGE1]], [[PAGE2]], and [[PAGE3]]}}
| |
| | |
| ===Other uses of the same title===
| |
| | |
| ===="''This page is about … For other uses …''"====
| |
| {{tlx|About}} is the main template for noting other uses.
| |
| | |
| ''Note. When used in [[Wikipedia:Main namespace|main namespace]], the word "page" in the following hatnotes is replaced by "article".''
| |
| | |
| * {{tlx|About|USE1}} → {{About|USE1}}
| |
| * {{tlx|About|USE1<nowiki>||</nowiki>PAGE2}} (When the disambiguation page has a different name – Note the empty second parameter) → {{About|USE1||PAGE2}}
| |
| * {{tlx|About|USE1|USE2|PAGE2}} (When there is only one other use) → {{About|USE1|USE2|PAGE2}}
| |
| * {{tlx|About|USE1|USE2|PAGE2|and|PAGE3}} (Two pages for USE2) → {{About|USE1|USE2|PAGE2|and|PAGE3}}
| |
| * {{tlx|About|USE1|USE2|PAGE2#SUBSECTION{{tlf|!}}PAGE2TITLE}} (Using the {{tl|!}} template to give the link a different title) → {{About|USE1|USE2|PAGE2#SUBSECTION{{!}}PAGE2TITLE}}
| |
| * {{tlx|About|USE1|USE2|PAGE2|USE3|PAGE3|USE4|PAGE4|USE5|PAGE5}} (When there are up to four other uses – You should generally create a [[Wikipedia:Disambiguation|disambiguation page]] at this point) → {{About|USE1|USE2|PAGE2|USE3|PAGE3|USE4|PAGE4|USE5|PAGE5}}
| |
| * {{tlx|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) → {{About|USE1|USE2|PAGE2|USE3|PAGE3|other uses}}
| |
| * {{tlx|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}}
| |
| * {{tlx|About|USE1|USE2|PAGE2|USE3|PAGE3|other uses|PAGE4|and}} → {{About|USE1|USE2|PAGE2|USE3|PAGE3|other uses|PAGE4|and}}
| |
| * {{tlx|About|<nowiki>|</nowiki>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||USE2|PAGE2|USE3|PAGE3|other uses}}
| |
| * {{tlx|About|<nowiki>||</nowiki>PAGE1|and|PAGE2}} → {{About|||PAGE1|and|PAGE2|_nocat=1}}
| |
| :Note: {{tlx|for|<nowiki>|</nowiki>PAGE1|PAGE2}} produces the same result.
| |
| * {{tlx|About|USE1|<nowiki>section=yes</nowiki>}} → {{About|USE1|section=yes}}
| |
| :Note: this hatnote says "section", instead of "article" or "page".
| |
| | |
| ===="''This page is about … It is not to be confused with …''"====
| |
| {{tlx|About-distinguish}} is a template for noting other uses when there could be confusion with another topic.
| |
| | |
| * {{tlx|About-distinguish|USE1|PAGE1}} → {{About-distinguish|USE1|PAGE1}}
| |
| * {{tlx|About-distinguish2|USE1|TEXT}} → {{About-distinguish2|USE1|TEXT}}
| |
| | |
| ===="''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|<nowiki>|</nowiki>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}}

| |
| 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.

| ==Notes==
| |
| {{Nosubst|1='''Do not use [[Wikipedia:Substitution|subst:]] with these templates''', as that will prevent:
| |
| # propagating changes as the template is modified; and the
| |
| # ''[[Special:Whatlinkshere/{{NAMESPACE}}:{{PAGENAME}}|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 {{tl|Hatnote}} instead? Before creating a new template, see the [[Wikipedia:Template namespace|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 [[Wikipedia:Template sandbox and test cases|Template sandbox and test cases]].
