Other uses[]
"This page is about ... For other uses ..."[]
{{About}} is the main template for noting other uses.

- {{About|USE1}} → This page is about USE1. For other uses, see Hatnote templates documentation (disambiguation).

- Note: this hatnote says "section", instead of "article" or "page".
"For other uses, see ..."[]
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) → For other uses, see PAGE1 (disambiguation).
- 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}} → This page is about USE1. For USE2, see PAGE2. For other uses, see Hatnote templates documentation (disambiguation).
- 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}} → This page is about USE1. For USE2, see PAGE2. For USE3, see PAGE3.
- {{Three other uses|USE1|USE2|PAGE2|USE3|PAGE3}} This article is about USE1. For USE2, see PAGE2. For USE3, see PAGE3. For other uses, see Hatnote templates documentation (disambiguation).
- {{Three other uses||USE2|PAGE2|USE3|PAGE3}} → For USE2, see PAGE2. For USE3, see PAGE3. For other uses, see Hatnote templates documentation (disambiguation).
- {{Three other uses|USE1|USE2|PAGE2|USE3|PAGE3|USE4|PAGE4}} → This article is about USE1. For USE2, see PAGE2. For USE3, see PAGE3. For USE4, see Hatnote templates documentation (disambiguation).
"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) →
- For OTHER TOPIC, see Hatnote templates documentation (disambiguation).
- {{For|OTHER TOPIC|PAGE1}} →
- For OTHER TOPIC, see PAGE1.

- For , see PAGE1 and PAGE2.
- Variations
As with {{Other uses}}, there are a whole family of "for" templates.
- {{For2|OTHER TOPIC|CUSTOM TEXT}} → For OTHER TOPIC, see CUSTOM TEXT.
- {{For example|Pagename|Piped link name}} → For an example refer to: Piped link name

- {{Other uses of|TOPIC}} (disambiguous) → For other uses of "TOPIC", see TOPIC (disambiguation).
- {{Other uses of|TOPIC|PAGE1}} → For other uses of "TOPIC", see PAGE1.
"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.
{{Details3}} allows any text to links:
- {{Details3|[[article 1]], [[article 2]], and [[article 3]]|TOPIC}} →
"Further information: ..."[]
- {{See|OTHER TOPIC}} → Further information: OTHER TOPIC
Example with multiple parameters
- {{See|Diesel|Petrol|LPG|hydrogen fuel}} →

This template takes a single parameter of any length.

Wikipedia self-reference[]
- {{Selfref|ANYTEXT}} → ANYTEXT
- Note: used for hatnotes that don't make sense on mirrors of Wikipedia, such as linking an article from the main namespace to the Wikipedia namespace. (See: Manual of Style (self-references to avoid) for more details).
Categories[]
Category-specific templates produce bold category names.
- {{Category see also|THIS|THAT|THE OTHER}} → See also categories: THIS, THAT, and THE OTHER
- {{Related category|CAT2}} → See also the 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}} →
- See also the preceding Category:OTHER TOPIC.
- {{CatSucceeding|OTHER TOPIC}} → See also the succeeding [[:Category:{{{1Hatnote templates documentation}}}]].
- {{Category pair|TOPIC1|TOPIC2}} → See also the preceding Category:TOPIC1 and the succeeding Category:TOPIC2.

- Hatnote templates documentation is often contrasted with OTHERCAT.
- {{Contrast2|OTHERCAT}} (plural) →
- Hatnote templates documentation are very often contrasted with OTHERCAT.
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 {{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.
