→ {{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 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.{{Other uses-section|USE}}
(disambiguous) → {{See also|OTHER TOPIC|OTHER TOPIC2}}
→{{See also2|[[OTHER TOPIC]]|[[OTHER TOPIC2]]|[[OTHER TOPIC3]] and other 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}}
(disambiguous) →{{For|OTHER TOPIC|PAGE1}}
→{{For|OTHER TOPIC|PAGE1|PAGE2}}
→{{For|OTHER TOPIC|PAGE1|PAGE2|PAGE3}}
→{{For||PAGE1|PAGE2}}
→As with {{Other uses}}, there are a whole family of "for" templates.
{{For2|OTHER TOPIC|CUSTOM TEXT}}
→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}}
→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) →{{Other uses|PAGE1 (disambiguation)}}
produces the same result.{{Two other uses|USE1|USE2|PAGE2}}

{{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.

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:
