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}}→ Template:Mainlist
"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 1]], [[article 2|Article 2]], and [[article 3|Article 3]]|TOPIC}}→ Template:Details3
"See also …"
{{See also|TOPIC PAGE|OTHER TOPIC PAGE}}→See also: TOPIC PAGE and OTHER TOPIC PAGE
- 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.
Note. When used in main namespace, the word "page" in the following hatnotes is replaced by "article".
{{About|USE1}}→This page is about USE1. For other uses, see Further (disambiguation).{{About|USE1||PAGE2}}(When the disambiguation page has a different name – Note the empty second parameter) →This page is about USE1. For other uses, see PAGE2.{{About|USE1|USE2|PAGE2}}(When there is only one other use) →This page is about USE1. For USE2, see 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) →This page is about USE1. For USE2, see 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) →This page is about USE1. For USE2, see PAGE2. For USE3, see PAGE3. For other uses, see Further (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}}→This page is about USE1. For USE2, see PAGE2. For USE3, see PAGE3. For other uses, see PAGE4 and Further (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) →
- 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|PAGE1}}→{{For|OTHER TOPIC|PAGE1|PAGE2}}→{{For|OTHER TOPIC|PAGE1|PAGE2|PAGE3}}→{{For||PAGE1|PAGE2}}→ Error: no context parameter provided. Use {{other uses}} for "other uses" hatnotes. (help).
- Variations
As with {{Other uses}}, there is a whole family of "for" templates.[clarification needed]
{{For2|OTHER TOPIC|CUSTOM TEXT}}→
"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 Further (disambiguation).{{Other uses|PAGE1}}→For other uses, see 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) →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 Further (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}}→{{Three other uses|USE1|USE2|PAGE2|USE3|PAGE3}}{{Three other uses||USE2|PAGE2|USE3|PAGE3}}→{{Three other uses|USE1|USE2|PAGE2|USE3|PAGE3|USE4|PAGE4}}→

Categories
Category-specific templates:
{{Category see also|THIS|THAT|THE OTHER}}→ Script error: No such module "Category see also".
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 page for this category is MAIN ARTICLE.{{Category explanation|colourless green ideas}}→ Template:Category explanation{{Category pair|TOPIC1|TOPIC2}}→ Template:Category pair{{CatPreceding|OTHER TOPIC}}→ Template:CatPreceding{{CatSucceeding|OTHER TOPIC}}→ Template:CatSucceeding{{Contrast|OTHERCAT|OTHERCAT2}}→ Template:Contrast{{Contrast|OTHERCAT|OTHERCAT2|plural=yes}}→ Template:Contrast

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.
