Template documentation | This template should not be used unless other topics exist with names very similar to the name of the article it is being used on (which, for most articles, is not the case). |
{{About}} is a commonly used hatnote template on Wikipedia, and should be placed at the top of an article, linking the reader to other articles with similar titles or concepts that they may have been seeking instead. The template has several formats, including:
{{About|USE1}}→{{About|USE1||PAGE2}}→{{About|USE1|USE2|PAGE2}}→{{About|USE1|USE2|PAGE2|and|PAGE3}}→
Alternately, a section=yes parameter can be added to the {{About}} template for use at the top of a section. When using this parameter, the wording in the template changes to specify that it is being used in a section:
{{About|USE1|section=yes}}→{{About|USE1||PAGE2|section=yes}}→{{About|USE1|USE2|PAGE2|section=yes}}→{{About|USE1|USE2|PAGE2|and|PAGE3|section=yes}}→
For more options, find "{{About}}" in the text below.
For reference, see Wikipedia:hatnote and documentation below.

Other uses (of the 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}}→{{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) →{{About|USE1|USE2|PAGE2#SUBSECTION{{!}}PAGE2TITLE}}(Using the {{!}} template to give the link a different title) →{{About|USE1|USE2|PAGE2|USE3|PAGE3|USE4|PAGE4|USE5|PAGE5}}(When there are up to five 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) →{{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}}→{{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) → قالب:Other uses-section
- Note: this hatnote says "section", instead of "article" or "page".
"See also …"
{{See also|OTHER TOPIC|OTHER TOPIC2}}→
- Note: use when OTHER TOPIC is related to that of the current article and already contains a self-explanatory parenthetical.
{{See also2|[[OTHER TOPIC]]|[[OTHER TOPIC2]]|[[OTHER TOPIC3]] and other text}}→
"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}}→
- Variations
As with {{Other uses}}, there are a whole family of "for" templates.
{{For2|OTHER TOPIC|CUSTOM TEXT}}→لمعلومات عن OTHER TOPIC, انظر CUSTOM TEXT.
"For other uses, see …"
When such a wordy hatnote as {{About}} is not needed, {{Other uses}} is often useful.
{{Other uses}}(disambiguous) →{{Other uses|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) →
- 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}}→هذه المقالة هي عن USE1. إذا كنت تبغي USE2, انظر PAGE2. إذا كنت تبغي استعمالات أخرى, انظر عن (توضيح).
- 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}}هذه المقالة هي عن USE1. لمطالعة USE2, انظر PAGE2. ولمطالعة USE3, انظر PAGE3. ولمطالعة استخدامات أخرى, انظر عن (توضيح).{{Three other uses||USE2|PAGE2|USE3|PAGE3}}→{{Three other uses|USE1|USE2|PAGE2|USE3|PAGE3|USE4|PAGE4}}→
"For other uses of …, see …"
{{Other uses of}}(disambiguous) →{{Other uses of|TOPIC}}(disambiguous) →{{Other uses of|TOPIC|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.
{{Details|Article|TOPIC}}→
{{Details3}} allows any text to links:
{{Details3|[[article 1]], [[article 2]], and [[article 3]]|TOPIC}}→

- Note: If the number of pages redirecting to the target page is two,
{{Redirect2}}can be used instead. If the number is three and there are three corresponding disambiguation pages,{{Redirect10}}can be used.
{{Redirect10|REDIRECT1|REDIRECT2|REDIRECT3}}(disambiguous) →

Categories
Category-specific templates produce bold category names.
{{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.

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: تصنيف:قوالب التوضيح والتحويل.
- 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: 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.
