Vorlage:About/doc

ZIM HilfeWiki - das Wiki

{{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}}
    This page is about USE1. For other uses, see About/doc (disambiguation).
  • {{About|USE1||PAGE2}}
    This page is about USE1. For other uses, see PAGE2.
  • {{About|USE1|USE2|PAGE2}}
    This page is about USE1. For USE2, see PAGE2.
  • {{About|USE1|USE2|PAGE2|and|PAGE3}}
    This page is about USE1. For USE2, see 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}}
    This section is about USE1. For other uses, see About/doc (disambiguation).
  • {{About|USE1|PAGE2|section=yes}}
    This section is about USE1. For other uses, see PAGE2.
  • {{About|USE1|USE2|PAGE2|section=yes}}
    This section is about USE1. For USE2, see PAGE2.
  • {{About|USE1|USE2|PAGE2|and|PAGE3|section=yes}}
    This section is about USE1. For USE2, see PAGE2 and PAGE3.

For more options, find "{{About}}" in the text below.

For reference, see Wikipedia:hatnotes and documentation below.

Hatnote templates[Quelltext bearbeiten]

For the full editing guideline on hatnotes, see Wikipedia:Hatnote.

Generic[Quelltext bearbeiten]

  • {{Hatnote|CUSTOM TEXT}}
    CUSTOM TEXT
{{Hatnote|For other senses of this term, see [[SITENAME]]}}
For other senses of this term, see SITENAME

If a hatnote link leads to a disambiguation page without providing the "(disambiguation)" parameter, this parameter must be added manually. This indicates that the disambiguation link is intentional, and not an error (see WP:INTDABLINK for details):

  • {{Hatnote|For other senses of this term, see [[Page (disambiguation){{!}}Page]]}}
    For other senses of this term, see Page

More pages on the same topic ("Further information ...")[Quelltext bearbeiten]

"Main article: …"[Quelltext bearbeiten]

{{Main}} is used to make summary style explicit, when used in a summary section for which there is also a separate article on the subject:

"Further information: …"[Quelltext bearbeiten]

Other uses of the same title[Quelltext bearbeiten]

"This page is about … For other uses …"[Quelltext bearbeiten]

{{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|WLAN}}
    This page is about WLAN. For other uses, see About/doc (disambiguation).
  • {{About|Mail||WLAN}} (When the disambiguation page has a different name – Note the empty second parameter) →
    This page is about Mail. For other uses, see WLAN.
  • {{About|USE1|USE2|WLAN}} (When there is only one other use) →
    This page is about USE1. For USE2, see WLAN.
  • {{About|USE1|USE2|WLAN|and|Mail}} (Two pages for USE2) →
    This page is about USE1. For USE2, see WLAN and Mail.
  • {{About|USE1|USE2|WLAN#SUBSECTION{{!}}eduroam}} (Using the {{!}} magic word to give the link a different title) →
    This page is about USE1. For USE2, see eduroam.
  • {{About|USE1|USE2|WLAN|USE3|Mail|USE4|Netzwerkspeicher|USE5|MSOPB}} (When there are up to four other uses – You should generally create a disambiguation page at this point) →
    This page is about USE1. For USE2, see WLAN. For USE3, see Mail. For USE4, see Netzwerkspeicher. For USE5, see MSOPB.
  • {{About|USE1|USE2|WLAN|USE3|Mail|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) →
    This page is about USE1. For USE2, see WLAN. For USE3, see Mail. For other uses, see About/doc (disambiguation).
  • {{About|USE1|USE2|WLAN|USE3|Mail|other uses|Netzwerkspeicher}} (When there are several standard other uses and also a disambiguation page with non-default name) →
    This page is about USE1. For USE2, see WLAN. For USE3, see Mail. For other uses, see Netzwerkspeicher.
  • {{About|USE1|USE2|WLAN|USE3|Mail|other uses|Netzwerkspeicher|and}}
    This page is about USE1. For USE2, see WLAN. For USE3, see Mail. For other uses, see Netzwerkspeicher and About/doc (disambiguation).
  • {{About||USE2|WLAN|USE3|Mail|other uses}} (When you don't need to state the focus of this article/page – Note the empty first parameter) →
    For USE2, see WLAN. For USE3, see Mail. For other uses, see About/doc (disambiguation).
  • {{About|||WLAN|and|Mail}}
    For other uses, see WLAN and Mail.
Note: {{for||WLAN|Mail}} produces the same result.
Note: this hatnote says "section", instead of "article" or "page".

"For …, see …"[Quelltext bearbeiten]

{{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.

"… redirects here. For other uses, see …"[Quelltext bearbeiten]

  • {{Redirect|REDIRECT}}
    "REDIRECT" redirects here. For other uses, see REDIRECT (disambiguation).
  • {{Redirect|REDIRECT||WLAN}}
    "REDIRECT" redirects here. For other uses, see WLAN.
  • {{Redirect|REDIRECT|USE1|WLAN}}
    "REDIRECT" redirects here. For USE1, see WLAN.
  • {{Redirect|REDIRECT|USE1|WLAN|USE2|Mail}}
    "REDIRECT" redirects here. For USE1, see WLAN. For USE2, see Mail.
  • {{Redirect|REDIRECT|USE1|WLAN|USE2|Mail|USE3|Netzwerkspeicher}}
    "REDIRECT" redirects here. For USE1, see WLAN. For USE2, see Mail. For USE3, see Netzwerkspeicher.
  • {{Redirect|REDIRECT|USE1|WLAN|and|Mail}}
    "REDIRECT" redirects here. For USE1, see WLAN und Mail.
  • {{Redirect|REDIRECT|USE1|WLAN|USE2|Mail|and|Netzwerkspeicher}}
    "REDIRECT" redirects here. For USE1, see WLAN. For USE2, see Mail und Netzwerkspeicher.
  • To specify the text following "redirects here.":
    • {{Redirect3|REDIRECT|TEXT}}
      "REDIRECT" redirects here. TEXT.

Notes[Quelltext bearbeiten]

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. 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.
  2. 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.
