This template is for use on Category pages, to refer to the primary article associated with this category, which most of the time, describes the entire set containing the category.
Uses Lua: |
Normal usage (uses category name for wiki link):
{{Cat main}}
→ If the name of the main article is different than the name of the category — for example: if the main article for Category:Dead or Alive is Dead or Alive (series) — then you will need to use one parameter to specify the article:
{{Cat main|Dead or Alive (series)}}
→ Simply append more articles as additional arguments (up to five):
{{Cat main|1}}
results in {{Cat main|1|2}}
results in {{Cat main|1|2|3|4|5}}
results in {{Cat main|WP:WikiProject|article=no}}
→ Specifies the primary article(s) associated with this category

{{Hatnote|CUSTOM TEXT}}
→ {{Hatnote|For other senses of this term, see [[etc…]]}}
→ {{Høvuðsgrein}}
is used to make summary style explicit, when used in a summary section for which there is also a separate article on the subject:
{{Høvuðsgrein|Høvuðsgrein}}
→{{Høvuðsgrein|Høvuðsgrein|Article2}}
→{{Main list|Article1}}
→ {{Details}}
can supplement {{Main}}
in summary sections, or can indicate more details in nonsummary sections:
{{Details|PAGE1}}
→ {{Details|PAGE1|TOPIC}}
→ {{Details3}}
allows changing the displayed name for links. Unlike {{Details}}
, it requires bracketed link notation:
{{Details3|[[NTSC#Color_encoding|NTSC Color encoding]]}}
→ {{Details3|[[article1|Article 1]], [[article2|Article 2]], and [[article3|Article 3]]|TOPIC}}
→ {{See also|TOPIC PAGE|OTHER TOPIC PAGE}}
→ {{See also2|[[OTHER TOPIC]]|[[OTHER TOPIC2]]|[[OTHER TOPIC3]] and other text}}
→ {{Further|PAGE}}
→ {{Further|PAGE1|PAGE2|PAGE3}}
→ {{Further2|[[PAGE1]], [[PAGE2]], and [[PAGE#3|PAGE3]]}}
→ {{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 {{!}} magic word to give the link a different title) → {{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) → {{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}}
→ {{for||PAGE1|PAGE2}}
produces the same result.{{About|USE1|section=yes}}
→ {{About-distinguish}}
is a template for noting other uses when there could be confusion with another topic.
{{About-distinguish|USE1|PAGE1}}
→ {{About-distinguish2|USE1|TEXT}}
→ {{About-distinguish-custom|USE1|TEXT}}
→ {{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|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}}
→ {{For|OTHER TOPIC|PAGE1}}
→ {{For|OTHER TOPIC|PAGE1|PAGE2}}
→ {{For|OTHER TOPIC|PAGE1|PAGE2|PAGE3}}
→ {{For||PAGE1|PAGE2}}
→ {{For2|OTHER TOPIC|CUSTOM TEXT}}
→ When such a wordy hatnote as {{About}} is not needed, {{Other uses}} is often useful.
{{Other uses}}
→ {{Other uses|PAGE1}}
→ {{Other uses|PAGE1|PAGE2}}
→ {{Other uses2|PAGE1}}
→ {{Other uses|PAGE1 (disambiguation)}}
produces the same result.{{Two other uses|USE1|USE2|PAGE2}}

Category-specific templates:
{{Category see also|THIS|THAT|THE OTHER}}
→ Fyrimynd:Category see alsoThis 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}}
→ {{Category explanation|colourless green ideas}}
→ Fyrimynd:Category explanation{{Category pair|TOPIC1|TOPIC2}}
→ Fyrimynd:Category pair{{CatPreceding|OTHER TOPIC}}

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:
