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.

Examples

Code Result
{{See also|Article}}
{{See also|Article|label 1=Alternative title for Article}}
{{See also|Article|Article 2}}
{{See also|Article|Article 2|Article 3}}
{{See also|Article|Article 2|label 2=Alternative title for Article 2}}

And so on up to 15 parameters.

{{Hatnote|For other senses of this term, see [[etc…]]}}

"Main article: …"

{{Main}} is used when used in a summary section for which there is also a separate article on the subject:

"For more details on …, see …"

{{Details}} can supplement {{Main}} in summary sections, or can indicate more details in nonsummary sections:

  • {{Details|PAGE1|TOPIC}}

{{Details3}} allows any text to links:

"See also …"

Note: use only when OTHER TOPIC PAGE is related to current article and contains a self-explanatory parenthetical.

Other uses of the same title

"This page is about … For other uses …"

{{About}} is the main template for noting other uses.

  • {{About|USE1}}
  • {{About|USE1||PAGE2}} (When the disambiguation page has a different name – Note the empty second parameter) →
  • {{About|USE1|USE2|PAGE2}} (When there is only one other use) →
  • {{About|USE1|USE2|PAGE2|and|PAGE3}} (Two pages for USE2) →

Categories

Category-specific templates:

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.
