When a Wikipedia article is large, it is often rewritten in summary style. This template is used after the heading of the summary, to link to the sub-article that has been (or will be) summarised. This template can also be used in the Category namespace, but the preferred template for categories is {{Cat main}}.
This template can also be used in articles leads when an article is not the "main" article for its subject. When there are multiple articles, distinct enough to warrant separate articles, but not enough to be very separate subjects. One to be the main article describing the topic, and the others avoiding unnecessary duplication of the main article. A good example would be geography articles where two terms have somewhat different meanings or "contexts", but refer to roughly the same geographic area, e.g. Balkans and Southeast Europe. The Balkans article is the main article, the Southeast Europe article doesn't try to be a duplicate of the Balkans article by having much info on History, natural resources, etc, it leaves that to the Balkans article. This can be thought of as a halfway point between having fully separate articles, and heaving a redirect.
This template is not to be used as a substitute for inline links or as a "see also". Its usage should be restricted to the purposes described hereinbefore.
Usage
{{Main |Article 1 }}
You may also include additional links, up to ten in total:
{{Main |Article 1 |Article 2 |Article 3 |Article 4 |Article 5 |Article 6 |Article 7 |Article 8 |Article 9 |Article 10 }}
For each link, you may optionally specify a link appearance (this is for articles where a piped link would be used). Note that the extra parameters use a lower case 'L', for example, l1, not 11:
{{Main |Article 1 |Article 2 |Article 3 |Article 4 |Article 5 |Article 6 |Article 7 |Article 8 |Article 9 |Article 10 |l1=Article 1 link appearance |l2=Article 2 link appearance |l3=Article 3 link appearance |l4=Article 4 link appearance |l5=Article 5 link appearance |l6=Article 6 link appearance |l7=Article 7 link appearance |l8=Article 8 link appearance |l9=Article 9 link appearance |l10=Article 10 link appearance }}

Hatnote templates
For a summary page on how to use these templates, see the example page here. For the full editing guideline on hatnotes, see Wikipedia:Hatnote.
Generic
{{Hatnote|CUSTOM TEXT}}
→CUSTOM TEXT
{{Rellink|CUSTOM TEXT}}
→CUSTOM TEXT
More pages on the same topic ("Further information ...")
"Main article: …"
{{Main}}
is used to make summary style explicit, when used in a summary section for which there is also a separate article on the subject:
{{Main|Main Article}}
→Main article: Main Article{{Main|Main Article|Article2}}
→Main articles: Main Article and Article2{{Main list|Article1}}
→For a more comprehensive list, see Article1.
"For more details on …, see …"
{{Details}}
can supplement {{Main}}
in summary sections, or can indicate more details in nonsummary sections:
{{Details3}}
allows any text to links:
{{Details3|[[article 1]], [[article 2]], and [[article 3]]|TOPIC}}
→
"See also …"
{{See also|TOPIC PAGE|OTHER TOPIC PAGE}}
→Zie ook: TOPIC PAGE and OTHER TOPIC PAGE
- Note: use only when OTHER TOPIC PAGE is related to current article and contains a self-explanatory parenthetical.
{{See also2|[[OTHER TOPIC]]|[[OTHER TOPIC2]]|[[OTHER TOPIC3]] and other text}}
→
"Further information: …"
{{Further|PAGE}}
→Further information: PAGE{{Further|PAGE1|PAGE2|PAGE3}}
→{{Further2|[[PAGE1]], [[PAGE2]], and [[PAGE#3|PAGE3]]}}
→
Other uses of the same title
"This page is about … For other uses …"
{{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}}
→Deze page gaat over USE1. Voor andere toepassingen, zie Main (disambiguation).{{About|USE1||PAGE2}}
(When the disambiguation page has a different name – Note the empty second parameter) →Deze page gaat over USE1. Voor andere toepassingen, zie PAGE2.{{About|USE1|USE2|PAGE2}}
(When there is only one other use) →Deze page gaat over USE1. Voor USE2, zie PAGE2.{{About|USE1|USE2|PAGE2|and|PAGE3}}
(Two pages for USE2) →{{About|USE1|USE2|PAGE2#SUBSECTION{{!}}PAGE2TITLE}}
(Using the {{!}} template to give the link a different title) →Deze page gaat over USE1. Voor USE2, zie PAGE2TITLE.{{About|USE1|USE2|PAGE2|USE3|PAGE3|USE4|PAGE4|USE5|PAGE5}}
(When there are up to four 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) →Deze page gaat over USE1. Voor USE2, zie PAGE2. Voor USE3, zie PAGE3. Voor other uses, zie Main (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}}
→Deze page gaat over USE1. Voor USE2, zie PAGE2. Voor USE3, zie PAGE3. Voor other uses, zie PAGE4 en Main (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) →{{About|||PAGE1|and|PAGE2}}
→
- Note:
{{for||PAGE1|PAGE2}}
produces the same result.
{{Other uses-section|USE}}
(disambiguous) →This section is about USE. For other uses, see Main (disambiguation).
- Note: this hatnote says "section", instead of "article" or "page".
"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 Main (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 is a whole family of "for" templates.[clarification needed]
{{For2|OTHER TOPIC|CUSTOM TEXT}}
→For OTHER TOPIC, see CUSTOM TEXT.
"For other uses, see …"
When such a wordy hatnote as {{About}} is not needed, {{Other uses}} is often useful.
{{Other uses}}
(disambiguous) →Voor andere toepassingen, zie Main (disambiguation).{{Other uses|PAGE1}}
→Voor andere toepassingen, zie PAGE1.{{Other uses|PAGE1|PAGE2}}
→
- 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) →Voor andere toepassingen, zie PAGE1 (disambiguation).

{{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.

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.{{Category explanation|colourless green ideas}}
→This category is for colourless green ideas.{{Category pair|TOPIC1|TOPIC2}}
→See also the preceding Category:TOPIC1 and the succeeding Category:TOPIC2.{{CatPreceding|OTHER TOPIC}}
→See also the preceding Category:OTHER TOPIC.{{CatSucceeding|OTHER TOPIC}}
→See also the succeeding Category:OTHER TOPIC.{{Contrast|OTHERCAT|OTHERCAT2}}
→{{Contrast|OTHERCAT|OTHERCAT2|plural=yes}}

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 {{Hatnote}} instead? Before creating a new template, see the 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.
