Template:Further2/doc

• Use commas and joining words like "and" or "or" as separators.
• Remember to wikilink the target pages; the template does not do it automatically.
• For a version which does wikilink automatically, use {{Further}}.

Examples

• {{Further2|[[OTHER TOPIC]]|[[OTHER TOPIC2]]|[[OTHER TOPIC3]] and other text}} →
  Further information: OTHER TOPIC, OTHER TOPIC2, and OTHER TOPIC3 and other text

  This page is about USE1. For USE2, see PAGE2. For USE3, see PAGE3. For other uses, see Further2/doc (disambiguation).

  For USE2, see PAGE2. For USE3, see PAGE3. For other uses, see Further2/doc (disambiguation).
• {{About|||PAGE1|and|PAGE2}} →
  For other uses, see 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 Further2/doc (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 Further2/doc (disambiguation).
• {{For|OTHER TOPIC|PAGE1}} →
  For OTHER TOPIC, see PAGE1.
• {{For|OTHER TOPIC|PAGE1|PAGE2}} →

• {{For|OTHER TOPIC|PAGE1|PAGE2|PAGE3}} →
  For OTHER TOPIC, see PAGE1, PAGE2, and PAGE3.
• {{For||PAGE1|PAGE2}} →
  For other uses, see PAGE1 and PAGE2.

Variations

As with {{Other uses}}, there is a whole family of "for" templates.Script error

• {{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.

  For other uses, see Further2/doc (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.

Category-specific templates:

• {{Category see also|THIS|THAT|THE OTHER}} →
  See also categories: THIS, THAT, and 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.

  This category is for colourless green ideas.

Do not use subst: with these templates, as that will prevent:

1. propagating changes as the template is modified; and the
2. 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:

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
