Usage
[ಬದಲಾಯಿಸಿ]{{About}} is a commonly used hatnote template on Wikipedia, and should be placed at the top of an article (but following {{Short description}}, if present), 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}}→{{About|Use1}}→{{About||Use2|Article2}}→{{About|||Article (disambiguation)}}→{{About|Use1||Article2}}→{{About|Use1||Article2|and|Article3}}→{{About|Use1|Use2|Article2}}→{{About|Use1|Use2|Article2|and|Article3}}→{{About|Use1|Use2|Article2|and|Article3|and|...}}→{{About|Use1|Use2|Article2|Use3|Article3}}→{{About|Use1|Use2|Article2|other uses}}→
The template {{For-multi}} produces the same hatnote, but without the initial This template is about.
Parameters
[ಬದಲಾಯಿಸಿ]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||Article2|section=yes}}→{{About|Use1|Use2|Article2|section=yes}}→{{About|Use1|Use2|Article2|and|Article3|section=yes}}→{{About|Use1|Use2|Article2|other uses|section=yes}}→
A |text= option adds text to the end; this should only be used when truly necessary, when the other hatnote templates listed below don't suffice.
The |selfref=yes option marks the entire hatnote as a Wikipedia self-reference, causing it to be omitted when the page content is reused outside of Wikipedia (see {{Self reference}} and for more details).
For more options, see section "TemplateData" below.
