Template documentation | This template uses Lua: |
This template is used to link to articles containing further information on a topic. It looks like this:
It is typically used at the top of a section, when the topic of that section is covered in more detail by another page. It is useful for implementing summary style.
Usage[Quelltext bearbeiten]
- Basic usage
{{further|page1|page2|page3|...}}
- All parameters
{{further|page1|page2|page3|...|selfref=yes|category=no}}
Parameters[Quelltext bearbeiten]
This template accepts the following parameters:
1,2,3, ... - the pages to link to. At least one page name is required. Categories and files are automatically escaped with the colon trick, and links to sections are automatically formatted as page § section, rather than the MediaWiki default of page#section.selfref- if set to "yes", "y", "true" or "1", adds the CSS class "selfref". This is used to denote self-references to Wikipedia. See Template:Selfref for more information.category- if set to "no", "n", "false", or "0", suppresses the error tracking category (Category:Hatnote templates with errors). This only has an effect if the first positional parameter (the page to link to) is omitted.
Examples[Quelltext bearbeiten]
{{further|Article}}→Further information: Article{{further|Article1|Article2|Article3}}→
Errors[Quelltext bearbeiten]
If no page names are supplied, the template will output the following message:
- Error: no page names specified (help).
If you see this error message, it is for one of four reasons:
- No parameters were specified (the template code was
{{further}}). Please use{{further|page}}instead. - Some parameters were specified, but no page names were included. For example, the template text
{{further|selfref=yes}}will produce this error. Please use (for example){{further|page|selfref=yes}}instead. - A page name was specified, but it contains an equals sign ("="). The equals sign has a special meaning in template code, and because of this it cannot be used in template parameters that do not specify a parameter name. For example, the template code
{{further|1+1=2|2+2=4}}will produce this error. To work around this, you can specify the parameter name explictly by using1=,2, etc., before the page name, like this:{{further|1=1+1=2|2=2+2=4}}. - You tried to access Module:Further directly by using
{{#invoke:further|further|text}}. Use of #invoke in this way has been disabled for performance reasons. Please use{{further|text}}instead.
If you see this error message and are unsure of what to do, please post a message on the help desk, and someone should be able to help you.
Pages that contain this error message are tracked in Category:Hatnote templates with errors.
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 Further (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) →{{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 Further (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 Further (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) →{{About|||WLAN|and|Mail}}→
- Note:
{{for||WLAN|Mail}}produces the same result.
{{About|USE1|section=yes}}→This section is about USE1. For other uses, see Further (disambiguation).
- 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.
{{For|OTHER TOPIC}}→For OTHER TOPIC, see Further (disambiguation).{{For|OTHER TOPIC|WLAN}}→For OTHER TOPIC, see WLAN.{{For|OTHER TOPIC|WLAN|Mail}}→{{For|OTHER TOPIC|WLAN|Mail|Netzwerkspeicher}}→{{For||WLAN|Mail}}→
"… 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|REDIRECT|USE1|WLAN|USE2|Mail|USE3|Netzwerkspeicher}}→{{Redirect|REDIRECT|USE1|WLAN|and|Mail}}→{{Redirect|REDIRECT|USE1|WLAN|USE2|Mail|and|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:
- 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.
- 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.
