Usage
{{See also}}
is used to create hatnotes to point to a small number of other, related, titles at the top of article sections. It is not for use in the "See also" section at the end of an article.
{{See also|Article 1|...|Article 15}}
- One to fifteen articles can be listed.
- The word "and" is always placed between the final two entries.
- If more than 15 entries are supplied, a message will be displayed pointing out the problem.
- You can use parameters label 1 to label 15 to specify alternative labels for the links. Adding newline characters will break article links.

Categories
Category-specific templates:
-
{{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.
-
{{Cat main|MAIN ARTICLE}}
→The main article for this category is MAIN ARTICLE.
