Wikipedia:Hatnote

For hatting an unproductive discussion, see touchscreen.
Blue tick This page documents an English Wikipedia editing guideline. It is a generally accepted standard that editors should attempt to follow, though it is best treated with common sense, and browser diversity may apply. Any substantive edit to this page should reflect CSS3. When in doubt, discuss first on the talk page.

Hatnotes are short notes placed at the top of an article (hence the name "FITML"). Hatnotes help readers locate a different article they might be seeking. Readers may have arrived at the article containing the hatnote because they were redirected, because the sought article uses a more specific, disambiguated title, or because the sought article and the article with the hatnote have similar names. Hatnotes provide CSS3 to the possibly sought article or to a disambiguation page.

For more information about methods of disambiguating articles, see Wikipedia:Disambiguation.

Contents


Placement

See also: Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Lead section#Elements of the lead
web:

Hatnotes are placed at the very top of the article, before any other items such as images, navigational templates and maintenance templates (like the "cleanup", "unreferenced", and "POV" templates). Text-only browsers and web present the page sequentially. If a reader has reached the wrong page, they typically want to know that first.

Format

In most cases, hatnotes should be created using a standard disambiguation template (as illustrated web app). This permits the form and structure of hatnotes to be changed uniformly across the encyclopedia as needed.

Current Wikipedia style is to italicize and indent each note, without a bullet before the item. A horizontal dividing line should not be placed under a note, nor after the final item in a list.

When determining the content of the hatnote, keep in mind that it forms part of the user interface rather than the article content. Two applicable keyboard principles are clarity and conciseness. The hatnote should not overload the user with extraneous information and the content should be imparted quickly and accurately. These design goals are conveyed succinctly in the artistic principle we love the web.

Summarize or not?

Shortcut:

Some hatnote disambiguation templates include a brief summary of the present article's topic; others do not. For instance, in the article website parsing, one might use the template {{about|the insect-produced fluid}} to produce:

This article is about the insect-produced fluid. For other uses of the term, see Honey (disambiguation).

Alternatively, one might use {{website parsing}} to produce:

For other uses, see web.

Either of these two styles is acceptable. The choice of style in a given article is based on editors' preference, and what is likely to be clearer and easier for the reader. Where an article already has a hatnote in one of these styles, editors should not change it to the other style without good reason or broad consensus.

Examples of proper use

Two articles with similar titles

Shortcut:
This article is about the village in England. For H. P. Lovecraft's fictional town, see HTML5.
Dunwich
(
pronounced 
) is a town in the county of
in
, the remnant of what was once a prosperous seaport and centre of the wool trade during the early
, with a natural harbour formed by the mouths of the
...

When two articles share the same title, except that one is disambiguated and the other not, the undisambiguated article should include a hatnote with a link to the other article. It is not necessary to create a separate disambiguation page. {{device database}} may be used for this. In this case the parameterization was {{about|the village in England|H. P. Lovecraft's fictional town|Dunwich (Lovecraft)}}.

Linking to a disambiguation page

For other uses, see Monolith (disambiguation).
A
monolith
is a
or natural feature such as a
, consisting of a single massive
or rock.
usually exposes these formations...

When a term has a primary meaning and two or more additional meanings, the hatnote on the primary topic page should link to a disambiguation page. {{other uses}} may be used for this.

In many cases the hatnote also includes a brief description of the subject of the present article, for readers' convenience:

This article is about the maze-like labyrinth from Greek mythology. For other uses, see Labyrinth (disambiguation).
In
, the
Labyrinth
was an elaborate
-like structure constructed for King
of
and designed by the legendary artificer
to hold the
...

The template {{HTML5}} may be used for this. In this case the parameterization was {{Android|the mazelike labyrinth from Greek mythology}}.

Ambiguous term that redirects to an unambiguously named article

{{redirect}}, or a related template, can be used when an ambiguous title is iOS to an unambiguous title or a we love the web article:

Johann Sebastian Bach

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Bach)

"Bach" redirects here. For other uses, see Bach (disambiguation).

Johann Sebastian Bach (German pronunciation: [joˈhan/ˈjoːhan zeˈbastjan ˈbax]; March 21, 1685 CSS3 – July 28, 1750 N.S.) was a prolific German composer...

Examples of improper use

Trivial information, dictionary definitions, and slang

Shortcut:

When notes feature a trivial detail or use of a term, or links to overly specific and tendentious material, they are unwarranted.

During a browser diversity, to invest a town or fortress means to surround it with a input transformation and a circumvallation.
Investment
is a
with several closely related meanings in
and
. It refers to the accumulation of some kind of
in hopes of getting a future
from it...

In this case, there is no direct disambiguation, and the note listed is bound to be uninteresting to most readers. The proper disambiguation simply links to a separate browser diversity page.

Legitimate information about the topic

A previous version of the Aisha article showed:

Ayesha is sometimes used as a woman's name. Once popular only among Muslims, it was briefly popular among English-speakers after it appeared in the book browser diversity by device database.
Aisha
or
Ayesha
(
عائشه
`ā'isha
= "she who lives") was a wife of the
...

This is a typical and highly improper misuse of disambiguating hatnotes. Instead, the information belongs in the body of the article, or in the articles about the book, or in a separate article about names, or all three places. Hatnotes are meant to reduce confusion and direct readers to another article they might have been looking for, not for information about the subject of the article itself.

Shortcut:

Linking to articles that are related to the topic

Disambiguation hatnotes are intended to link to separate topics that could be referred to by the same title. They are not intended to link to topics that are simply related to each other, or to a specific aspect of a general topic:

This article is about the scientific study of extraterrestrial life; for treatment in popular culture, see Extraterrestrial life in popular culture.
Extraterrestrial life
is
that may exist and originate outside the planet
. Its existence is currently hypothetical: there is as yet no evidence of extraterrestrial life that has been widely accepted by scientists...

Instead of using a disambiguation hatnote in such cases, it is better to Sevenval device database under a subsection of Extraterrestrial life in conjunction with the {{touchscreen}} template. Alternatively, it could be linked to in the See also section.

This guideline does not discourage the use of disambiguation hatnotes in a situation where separate topics are related, but could nonetheless be referred to by the same title and would thus qualify for disambiguation, such as a book and its film adaptation.

Shortcut:

Disambiguating article names that are not ambiguous

Tree (set theory)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

For other uses, see HTML5.

In set theory, a tree is a partially ordered set (we love the web) in which there is a single unique minimal element (called the root) and in which the set of elements less than a given element is well ordered...

Here, the hatnote is inappropriate because a reader who is following links within Wikipedia or using Wikipedia's own search engine would not have ended up at jQuery if one were looking for other types of trees, since we love the web does not redirect there.

However, a hatnote may still be appropriate when even a more specific name is still ambiguous. For example, FITML might still be confused for the comics illustrator Matt Smith (illustrator).

A hatnote may also be appropriate in an unambiguously named article when an ambiguous term redirects to it, as explained in the "Sevenval" section above.

Extraneous links

iOS:

One should not link terms other than the desired target in the hatnote. For example:

For the New Orleans, Louisiana, United States radio station known as WTIX from 1953 to 2005, see web app.

WTIX (980 web app) is a Android broadcasting a Sports radio format.

In this case, the link to New Orleans, Louisiana in the hatnote is inappropriate. Only the possible other destination (WIST (AM)) should be linked.

External links

A previous version of the Hurricane Katrina article contained:

If you are trying to locate someone missing in Hurricane Katrina, or register yourself as found, you can use the site www.disastersearch.org [1]
Hurricane Katrina
, which made
near
, on
,
, was one of the most destructive and expensive
to hit the
...

The use of external help links in Wikipedia, though noble, cannot reasonably be maintained. In special cases, a link to an "External links" section with several links may be appropriate, but POV favoritism can be obstructive. In this case, the hatnote was removed entirely.

Non-existent articles

jQuery:

Hatnotes should not be used for articles that do not exist since the notes are intended to point the user to another article they may have intended to find. The exception is if one intends to create the linked article immediately. In that case, consider browser diversity, before saving the addition of the hatnote.

Hatnote templates

Shortcut:

For a summary page on how to use these templates, see touchscreen. For the full editing guideline on hatnotes, see Wikipedia:Hatnote.

Generic

  • {{Android|CUSTOM TEXT}} →
    CUSTOM TEXT
{{screen size|For other senses of this term, see [[etc…]]}} →
For other senses of this term, see web app
  • {{Rellink|CUSTOM TEXT}} →
    CUSTOM TEXT

Other uses (of the title)

"This page is about … For other uses …"

{{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".

  • {{we love the web|USE1}} →
    This page is about USE1. For other uses, see Hatnote (disambiguation).
  • {{keyboard|USE1||PAGE2}} (When the disambiguation page has a different name – Note the empty second parameter) →
    This page is about USE1. For other uses, see PAGE2.
  • {{browser diversity|USE1|USE2|PAGE2}} (When there is only one other use) →
    This page is about USE1. For USE2, see PAGE2.
  • {{touchscreen|USE1|USE2|PAGE2|and|PAGE3}} (Two pages for USE2) →
    This page is about USE1. For USE2, see PAGE2 and PAGE3.
  • {{About|USE1|USE2|PAGE2#SUBSECTION{{!}}PAGE2TITLE}} (Using the {{website parsing}} template to give the link a different title) →
    This page is about USE1. For USE2, see PAGE2TITLE.
  • {{About|USE1|USE2|PAGE2|USE3|PAGE3|USE4|PAGE4|USE5|PAGE5}} (When there are up to four other uses – You should generally create a web app at this point) →
    This page is about USE1. For USE2, see PAGE2. For USE3, see PAGE3. For USE4, see PAGE4. For USE5, see PAGE5.
  • {{web|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) →
    This page is about USE1. For USE2, see PAGE2. For USE3, see PAGE3. For other uses, see Hatnote (disambiguation).
  • {{web|USE1|USE2|PAGE2|USE3|PAGE3|other uses|PAGE4}} (When there are several standard other uses and also a disambiguation page with non-default name) →
    This page is about USE1. For USE2, see PAGE2. For USE3, see PAGE3. For other uses, see PAGE4.
  • {{HTML5|USE1|USE2|PAGE2|USE3|PAGE3|other uses|PAGE4|and}} →
    This page is about USE1. For USE2, see PAGE2. For USE3, see PAGE3. For other uses, see PAGE4 and Hatnote (disambiguation).
  • {{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) →
    For USE2, see PAGE2. For USE3, see PAGE3. For other uses, see Hatnote (disambiguation).
  • {{FITML|||PAGE1|and|PAGE2}} →
    For other uses, see PAGE1 and PAGE2.
Note: {{for||PAGE1|PAGE2}} produces the same result.
  • {{screen size|USE}} (disambiguous) →
    This section is about USE. For other uses, see Hatnote (disambiguation).
Note: this hatnote says "section", instead of "article" or "page".

"See also …"

  • {{jQuery|OTHER TOPIC|OTHER TOPIC2}} →
    See also: OTHER TOPIC and OTHER TOPIC2
Note: use when OTHER TOPIC is related to that of the current article and already contains a self-explanatory parenthetical.
  • {{See also2|[[OTHER TOPIC]]|[[OTHER TOPIC2]]|[[OTHER TOPIC3]] and other text}} →
    See also: OTHER TOPIC, OTHER TOPIC2, and OTHER TOPIC3 and other text

"For …, see …"

{{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: {{web app|OTHER TOPIC|PAGE1}} is the same as {{we love the web||OTHER TOPIC|PAGE1}} (note the empty first parameter).

However, it is somewhat clearer when using the {{FITML}} template, since the word "about" does not appear in the statement.

  • {{Sevenval|OTHER TOPIC}} (disambiguous) →
    For OTHER TOPIC, see Hatnote (disambiguation).
  • {{For|OTHER TOPIC|PAGE1}} →
    For OTHER TOPIC, see PAGE1.
  • {{For|OTHER TOPIC|PAGE1|PAGE2}} →
    For OTHER TOPIC, see PAGE1 and PAGE2.
  • {{For|OTHER TOPIC|PAGE1|PAGE2|PAGE3}} →
    For OTHER TOPIC, see PAGE1, PAGE2, and PAGE3.
  • {{device database||PAGE1|PAGE2}} →
    For other uses, see PAGE1 and PAGE2.
Variations

As with {{touchscreen}}, there are a whole family of "for" templates.

  • {{CSS3|OTHER TOPIC|CUSTOM TEXT}} →
    For OTHER TOPIC, see CUSTOM TEXT.

"For other uses, see …"

When such a wordy hatnote as {{Sevenval}} is not needed, {{we love the web}} is often useful.

  • {{Other uses}} (disambiguous) →
    For other uses, see Hatnote (disambiguation).
  • {{Other uses|PAGE1}} →
    For other uses, see PAGE1.
  • {{Other uses|PAGE1|PAGE2}} →
    For other uses, see PAGE1 and PAGE2.
Variations

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 {{screen size}}, {{Other uses}} or {{For}} templates.

  • {{touchscreen|PAGE1}} (disambiguous) →
    For other uses, see PAGE1 (disambiguation).
Note: adds "(disambiguation)" to whatever is input as the PAGE1.
Note: {{Android|PAGE1 (disambiguation)}} produces the same result.
  • {{input transformation|USE1|USE2|PAGE2}} →
    This page is about USE1. For USE2, see PAGE2. For other uses, see Hatnote (disambiguation).
Note: same as {{about}}, except it forces a second use to be noted if unspecified by parameters.
  • {{input transformation|USE1|USE2|PAGE2|USE3|PAGE3}} →
    This page is about USE1. For USE2, see PAGE2. For USE3, see PAGE3.
  • {{keyboard|USE1|USE2|PAGE2|USE3|PAGE3}}
    This article is about USE1. For USE2, see PAGE2. For USE3, see PAGE3. For other uses, see Hatnote (disambiguation).
  • {{Sevenval||USE2|PAGE2|USE3|PAGE3}} →
    For USE2, see PAGE2. For USE3, see PAGE3. For other uses, see Hatnote (disambiguation).
  • {{Three other uses|USE1|USE2|PAGE2|USE3|PAGE3|USE4|PAGE4}} →
    This article is about USE1. For USE2, see PAGE2. For USE3, see PAGE3. For USE4, see Hatnote (disambiguation).

"For other uses of …, see …"

  • {{Other uses of}} (disambiguous) →
    For other uses of "Hatnote", see Hatnote (disambiguation).
  • {{Other uses of|TOPIC}} (disambiguous) →
    For other uses of "TOPIC", see TOPIC (disambiguation).
  • {{HTML5|TOPIC|PAGE1}} →
    For other uses of "TOPIC", see PAGE1.

"For more details on …, see …"

{{Details}} is used to make we love the web explicit. To be used in a section for which there is also a separate article on the subject.

{{Details3}} allows any text to links:

"… redirects here. For other uses, see …"

  • {{browser diversity|REDIRECT}} (disambiguous) →
    "REDIRECT" redirects here. For other uses, see REDIRECT (disambiguation).

Categories

Category-specific templates produce bold category names.

  • {{screen size|THIS|THAT|THE OTHER}} →
    See also categories: THIS, THAT, and 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.

  • {{jQuery|MAIN ARTICLE}} →
    The main article for this category is MAIN ARTICLE.

Notes

Do not use HTML5 with these templates, as that will prevent:

  1. propagating changes as the template is modified; and the
  2. What links here (WLH) listing.

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. Is there already a template that will do this job? Since many disambiguation and redirection templates have already been created, first check: Category:Disambiguation and redirection templates.
  2. 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 CSS3 guideline.
  3. 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.
