This template is used in MediaWiki:wantedpages-summary, and on approximately 199,000 pages. Changes to it can cause immediate changes to the Misplaced Pages user interface. To avoid major disruption and server load, any changes should be tested in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. The tested changes can be added to this page in a single edit. Please discuss changes on the talk page before implementing them.

This template uses Lua: Module:Labelled list hatnote (sandbox)

This template is used to create hatnotes to point to a small number of other related titles at the top of article sections (excluding the lead). It looks like this:

See also: WP Article title

Do not use this template on top of a page, where hatnotes are for disambiguation and not for related topics (according to WP:RELATED). Do not use this template inside the "See also" section at the end of an article, or for links to other articles or subsections of the same article within regular article text. Where subsections are linked to, Template:Section link may be suitable instead. For use on category pages, the corresponding template is Template:Category see also.

Refer to the examples below to see how the template handles link targets containing section links and commas.

Usage

Basic usage

{{See also|page1|page2|page3|...}}

All parameters

{{See also|page1|page2|page3| ...
|label 1 = label 1|label 2 = label2|label 3 = label3| ...
|l1 = label1|l2 = label2|l3 = label3| ...
|selfref = yes|category = no}}

Parameters

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.
• |label 1=, |label 2=, |label 3=, ...; or |l1=, |l2=, |l3=, ...; optional labels for each of the pages to link to.
• |selfref= – if set to yes, y, true, or 1, adds the CSS class selfref. This is used to denote self-references to Misplaced Pages. 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.

Errors

If no page names are supplied, the template outputs the following message with the (help) wikilink pointing to the "Errors" section of this page:

See also: MISSING ARTICLES

If you see this error message, it is for one of three reasons:

1. No parameters were specified (the template code was {{See also}} with no pipe character nor page to link to). Please use {{See also|page}} instead.
2. Some parameters were specified, but no page names were included. For example, the template text {{See also|selfref=yes}} will produce this error. Please use (for example) {{See also|page|selfref=yes}} instead.
3. 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 {{See also|1+1=2|2+2=4}} will produce this error. To work around this, you can specify the parameter name explicitly by using 1=, 2, etc., before the page name, like this: {{See also|1=1+1=2|2=2+2=4}}.

If you see this error message and are unsure of what to do, please post a message on the help desk (WP:HD), and someone should be able to help you.
